Mia Regev spent seven months recovering at the hospital after spending a month in Hamas captivity in Gaza following the U.S.-designated terrorist group’s attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.

Her perseverance in rehabilitating was attributed to the martial arts training provided by Sagi Dovev, a reservist in Sayeret Matkal, the most elite unit in the Israel Defense Forces. He trained Regev in Krav Maga at Sheba Medical Center months after Oct. 7.
