Terrifying video captures the instant a forty-year-old Israeli woman lawyer was abducted by Hamas terrorists in the terrorist attack on October 7.
The brief footage of Amit Soussana’s kidnapping, in which she was led by multiple guys as she was marched out of her Kibbutz Kfar Azza residence, was broadcast on Channel 12 of Israeli TV on Monday.
In the footage, Soussana can be seen battling to get away from the group; however, one of the terrorists tries to stop her by propping her up over his shoulder.
Despite this, Soussana continues to thrash about and kick a fellow Hamas member who tries to seize her legs.
The man hoisting her is eventually knocked down by the uproar, and the others halt their advance and surround her.
Soussana is seen being covered in a sheet by the men, who then pick her up and resume their march back toward Gaza.
Before Hamas’ seven-day cease-fire with Israel expired on Thursday, Soussana was among the final set of hostages that Hamas freed.
She was released ahead of the rest of the gang, along with 21-year-old French-Israeli citizen Mia Schem. That day, ten captives were set free in all.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club claims that the group was traded for a number of Palestinian inmates, including eight women and twenty-two youngsters, all of whom were boys.
Soussan, a solitary resident of Kfar Aza, was abducted while hiding in the safe room of her house due to a fever, according to the Times of Israel.
Despite the fact that the cease-fire deal resulted in the release of over 100 hostages overall, Israel calculates that there are still over 140 prisoners in Gaza.
As part of an agreement to prolong the brief ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Qatar and the US, Amit Soussana was freed on November 30. This is how her capture came to be:
When Hamas militants attacked her home kibbutz, Kfar Aza, on October 7, 40-year-old Amit Soussana was at home sick with a fever.
Soussana was using WhatsApp to text her family, sharing with them her observations of what was happening on the Kibbutz groups and outside her window.
She wrote, “They’re attacking the kibbutz; there’s shooting.”
Amit said, “Oh,” among other things.
She wrote, “They’re outside my window.” “It seems unreal, which makes it scary.”
“Where is the military force located? Another family member also wrote.
In her final message to them at 10:07 a.m., Amit stated that she was going to hide in a closet in her safe room before typing, “My battery is about to run out.”
Kibbutz Kfar Aza’s Soussana, 40, a lawyer and Sapir College alumna, occupied an apartment by herself.
22 days after her kidnapping on October 7, she was officially identified as a hostage of Hamas on October 29.
Mia Shem: The 21-year-old Israeli in the Hamas hostage video
In a terrifying video produced by Hamas terrorists, one of at least 199 hostages is shown pleading for aid from around the globe.
The young Israeli woman, named Mia Shem, was abducted at a music festival close to the Gaza Strip on October 7 and hasn’t been seen since.
For the first time, Hamas has made video of any of the Israelis it is keeping hostage in the Palestinian enclave available; it was posted on Telegram late on Monday.
Here is what we currently know about Mia:
The 21-year-old French-Israeli national was one of the numerous revelers kidnapped by Hamas from the Tribe of Nova music festival, which was held close to the Gaza Strip and during which the militants massacred 260 other attendees.
Shem’s family thought she had been abducted, but they were unsure of the young woman’s status until the footage was made public late on Monday.
On October 7, her mother Keren Shem claimed that her daughter had informed her that she was heading “to a party down south.” The distraught mother called Shem several times after learning of the slaughter, but she never received a response.
Shem’s family has reportedly been in frequent contact with the Israel Defense Forces since they notified them last week that she was one of the hostages.
Shem’s family begged for their daughter’s safe return during a press conference in Tel Aviv shortly after the hostage film surfaced.
“I saw that she is alive. I had heard rumors that she had been shot in the leg or shoulder, so I can confirm that she was shot in the shoulder. I can also confirm that she underwent surgery. She appears extremely scared and in excruciating pain, and I can confirm that she complies with orders,” her mother stated to reporters.
The mother held up a picture of her daughter and said, “I ask world leaders that my daughter be returned to us in the state that she is in today, along with the other hostages.”
“I beg the world to give my baby back to me. It’s an offense against human decency. We must put an end to this terror as a group.
