Watched a pretty decent interview today with Mia Schem, a young (hot btw) Israeli chick abducted on Oct. 7 by Hamas.
Detailed account of what happened, where she was taken and the ensuing 55 days of captivity until she was rescued by IDF.
Mangled arm, sleep deprivation, not eating for days on end, never showering the entire time, etc.
Her greatest fear, besides dying, was being raped. She'd heard stories of female hostages being repeatedly raped
to the point that some became pregnant, which almost insured their execution.
When she and her friend Ari fled in a car from the festival, hamas were waiting on surrounding roads.
They shot out the tires on the car, causing it to swerve off the road. gunmen immediately approached the car and shot her
male friend Ari in the head. She had been shot in the arm but didn't receive any medical treatment or three days.
Young men dragged her from the car and immediately began to grope her and take her clothes off.
The older man among them yelled 'no time for that!' or something, 'put her in the car!'
She attempted to curry favor with the guy who eventually brought her to his home, with wife and two kids inside.
They put her in a dark room where she stayed unattended for days. Since she understood Arabic, she gathered the wife
hated her, naturally, and berated her husband for having her there.
She got along with the man, although no sexual contact was disclosed.
Her fingers were tattooed with Israeli writing, which she would display daily out the slatted window in hopes of
a drone noticing and identifying her as an Israeli hostage. It worked apparently.
IDF tech in daily flyovers saw this and a rescue op was initiated.
talk about moxie and the will to survive.
she later said her allowed viewing of her mother on al jeeraz spurred her on, the strength and resolve she saw
made her determined to get home.
