The Israel Defense Forces says the family of Mia Schem, 21, who is seen in the Hamas hostage video, was notified last week that she is being held in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF says that in the video, Hamas “tries to present itself as a humanitarian organization, while in fact it is a murderous terror group, responsible for the murders and kidnappings of babies, women, children and the elderly.”
The IDF add that it is continuing to work “with all the intelligence and operational means” to return the more than 200 hostages.
