Speaking at a press conference in Tel Aviv this morning, Mia’s devastated mother Keren broke down holding a photo of her stolen daughter.
“I am asking the world to give me my child back,” she said after French President Emmanuel Macron demanded Mia’s immediate and unconditional release.
“I’m begging the world to bring my baby home. She only went to a party, a festival to have some fun. And now she’s in Gaza, and she’s not the only one.
“This is a crime against humanity. We should all come together and stop this terror and bring everyone home,” she said.
Mia’s brother Eli said: “We want Mia and all the other hostages who are trapped in the Gaza Strip to come home. Mia is an innocent child who just wanted to go to a party with her friends.”
The one-minute clip, which he posed to Telegram, shows Israeli-French Mia looking tiredly at the camera while her hand is wrapped in a strap in her lap.
She is then shown receiving medical treatment for her wounded hand before telling the camera that she is being held in Gaza and begging for her release.
“They take care of me, they give me medicine, everything is fine,” she said in the video.
“I’m just asking to be brought back home to my parents, my brothers and sisters as soon as possible. Get me out of here as soon as possible. Please.”
She also mentioned that she had just undergone a three-hour operation in Gaza, according to a translation from the Hebrew Jerusalem Post.
Keren said she didn’t know her daughter was dead or alive until she saw the video of Mia yesterday.
She said: “There was talk that she was wounded in the shoulder or leg. She was wounded in the hand, she was operated on.
“She looks terrified. She’s saying what they tell her to say. I’m really worried about her.”
Mia’s aunt Galit told Israeli media that the family saw the disturbing video of the hostage and confirmed that it was her.
“Today [the family] they called me screaming and told me they saw Mia in a video on Telegram,” she said.
“I saw her, and I thought I was dreaming. I finally saw a girl after so long.
“She looks hurt and scared – but at least she’s alive.”
Israel Defense Forces [IDF] confirmed that Mia was abducted by Hamas terrorists last week during a massacre at a music festival in which 260 partygoers died.
Witnesses said Palestinian militants cut the power and opened fire – with shocking footage showing terrified ravers fleeing the scene.
“In the video released by Hamas, they are trying to portray themselves as humane,” the IDF wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“However, they are a horrific terrorist organization responsible for killing and kidnapping babies, children, men, women and the elderly.”
The IDF added that it continues to work “with all intelligence and operational means” to return more than 190 hostages taken by the terrorist group.
She added that seeing the video was a significant moment for the family, as they realized she was still alive.
“We ask that the countries of the free world make sure that she is returned to us.
She was with her very good friend – Elya Toledano, and we heard nothing more about him. We want to know that he is well,” she added.
Mia’s mother, Keren, last spoke to her daughter the day before Hamas’s surprise attack on southern Israel.
“She called me to say she was going to a party down south,” she said, according to the Times.
– I asked her where, and she said she wasn’t sure.
When she learned of the bloody raid the next morning, she desperately called her daughter, but never got an answer.
The distraught mother said she joined two WhatsApp groups of family and friends with missing loved ones from the music festival – only to be hit with a wave of messages from people claiming to be linked to Hamas, threatening to harm her daughter.
“We survived an outrageous terrorist attack that could happen tomorrow in France or the USA. The enemy is evil,” she added.
Cruel Hamas killers also abducted 22-year-old Shani Louk, who was last seen alive in a horrifying video showing militants parading her naked body before spitting on it.
Her desperate grandmother Nicole Louk has revealed she is ready to go to Gaza to save her beloved granddaughter from the hands of Hamas.
In an interview with the French news channel La Chaine Info [LCI]claimed the devastated grandmother: “Shani is alive, but badly injured in the head”.
It follows reports that the family has received information suggesting that Shani was not killed, despite viral images showing her seemingly lifeless body being abused by brutal Hamas terrorists.
Meanwhile, a chilling rant was sent from the phone of Shana’s missing boyfriend, Orión Hernández Radoux, 30, amid fears he too had been abducted by Hamas terrorists.
Harrowing messages written in Arabic were sent from his dad’s phone as his family desperately tried to find out what happened to him.
The sick lyrics seen by The Sun say “I spit on you” and “Damn you”.
They also vow to “liberate Palestine” and make it “Zionist free”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has now vowed to “exterminate the bloody monsters” that unleashed hell on his country.
“Hamas thought we were going to break – we were going to break Hamas,” he raged.
