Former Hamas hostage Mia Shem gets engaged a year after her release

Former Hamas hostage Mia Shem celebrated the first anniversary of her liberation from the terror group by getting engaged to her boyfriend.

Schem, 22, who survived 54 days in captivity, announced her engagement to childhood friend Yinon Hassan, 24, on Thursday after the latter proposed in the coastal town of Caesarea.

Hassan, who began dating Shem after she was released as part of the first wave of hostage takings last November, knelt and asked for her hand in marriage, the Jerusalem Post reported.

Schem posted photos on social media of the couple holding hands with their engagement ring flashing, as well as a picture of the happy couple kissing.

The post sparked an outpouring of support, and several Israeli restaurants offered to host or cater Schem’s bachelor party.

Speculation about the couple’s impending engagement erupted in August when Schem agreed to pose for a wedding dress campaign by Israeli designers, in which she openly flaunted the scars she suffered during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.

The French-Israeli tattoo artist was among those kidnapped during the Hamas raid on the Tribe of Nova music festival, during which Schem was shot in the right arm.

The 22-year-old was quickly featured in the first round of Hamas propaganda videos, in which she was forced to praise the three-hour operation the terrorists performed on her arm.

Schem later revealed that she had suffered terrible pain from her wound during captivity and that her captors had done nothing to help her.

The terrorists also left her in a cage for days and even taunted her by showing her television reports of her mother begging for her safe return, she said.

Since her release last year, Schem has become one of the most vocal advocates calling for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

“I have to fight for the rest of the hostages — this is my life,” Schem told the Post during her visit to New York earlier this month.

“I feel like I have a mission – to speak, to tell my story to the world, for the other hostages who can’t,” she added.

“And to be the voice for the girls who are still here.”
