Mia Schem, who was taken hostage during Hamas's military wing Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades' 'Aqsa Flood Operation' against Israel on October 7, 2023, and was held captive in Gaza for 54 days before being released, was sexually assaulted about 16 months after returning to her country.
ISRAELI HOSTAGE RELEASED BY HAMAS WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED IN HER COUNTRY
Schem reported to the police in March 2025 that she was raped by well-known personal trainer Nati Avidan. According to her statement, Schem was found unconscious at her home by a friend on the night she met Avidan. Hours later, Schem was taken to the hospital, where it was noted that she did not clearly remember the incident, but signs of sexual assault were identified during the medical examination. Schem also presented three physical signs and two additional medical findings as evidence during her complaint.
TRAINER ATTACHED TO POLYGRAPH
Trainer Nati Avidan, who was taken into custody, denied the allegations, stating that he did not enter Schem's room. Avidan later admitted that he was in the room for a short time. According to Israel-based Channel 12, Avidan, who underwent a polygraph test, repeatedly answered 'false' to the questions posed to him. The Ynet news site also reported that Avidan was being investigated for sending sexual messages to another woman a year ago, such as "I couldn't help but look at you during training."
"I AM NOT THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE HIDING"
Recently speaking to a television channel about the incident, Schem said, "I am not the one who should be hiding." Sharing the trauma she experienced with the public, Schem stated that the drug injected into her during the incident led to delayed memories.
SHE HAD PRAISED HAMAS
Schem, who was shot in the arm while being held captive by Hamas, underwent surgery without anesthesia. In a video released by the Qassam Brigades during those days, Schem stated that she was treated well and that "everything was fine." After being released, she also said in the International Red Cross vehicle she boarded, "They treated me kindly, the food was good."
