Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇺🇸🇮🇱 Three years after surviving the October 7 attacks, former Hamas hostage Maya Regev has shared her harrowing story with students at Brown University. Maya was just 21 when gunmen attacked the Nova Music Festival, shooting her and her brother as their father listened helplessly over the phone. “Dad, I got shot. I got shot. They are coming to us. We can’t escape. We’re in the car, they are coming to kill us. I love you. I’m sorry,” she recalled telling her father. She spent 50 days in captivity in Gaza, where she says she was tortured and denied adequate medical care, before returning home to undergo 10 surgeries and nearly a year of hospitalization.
