Israeli Experts Reveal Systematic Use of Sexual Violence by Hamas on October 7
Recent reports from Israeli experts highlight a harrowing aspect of the October 7 attacks, alleging that Hamas systematically employed sexual violence as a weapon of war against Israeli civilians. The findings suggest that such acts were not isolated incidents, but rather part of a broader and deliberate strategy aimed at terrorizing victims. Testimonies from witnesses and hostages document widespread sexual atrocities, with some accounts describing horrific acts including the rape of dead bodies and the binding of hostages before execution. These detailed reports aim to establish a legal framework for prosecuting those responsible for these crimes, characterizing the violence as part of a genocidal strategy. The international community is urged to take these findings seriously in light of the potential for legal action against perpetrators of war-related sexual violence.
