Return to Mom's embrace: Maya Shem, 21, from Shoham, was kidnapped to Gaza from the party in Re'im on Black Saturday. During the massacre, before she was kidnapped, she told her family in a phone call that she had been injured in the leg and had lost contact. A few days after her abduction, the Hamas terrorist organization released a video showing her with a wound to her hand. In the edited video, she says that she underwent surgery and received medical treatment and asked to be brought home as soon as possible.

In an interview with Israel Hayom during the struggle to shut her down, her mother Keren said: "It was the only and last time we heard from her, I'm very worried about her condition – partly because I only saw her upper body and she reported to one of the acquaintances that she had been shot in the leg. It's uncertainty at a level where it's hard for me to breathe."

Lamia and Keren have tattoos together, on Keren's hand tattooed the song "Star" by Assaf Amdursky, a tattoo that is also found on her daughter's shoulder. "It symbolizes things we went through together. Right now what I have is to lift my head, look up at the sky and hope that Mia also sees sky, moon and stars. I put this song out loud and pray. I'm already thinking about the tattoo we'll get when she comes back to us, we already have a sketch – we'll do it for the whole family together."
