New accounts of Hamas’ mass sexual violence have emerged as Israel denounces groups who refuse to condemn it, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
Israel has received over 1,000 testimonies about Hamas’ sexual violence during the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks which left 1,200 civilians dead, according to the AP. Israel is criticizing human rights organizations, particularly those in the United Nations (UN), for failing to condemn the “horrible atrocities” committed by Hamas.
Individual accounts of Hamas’ sexual crimes are numerous and horrific; one man reports that while he was fleeing a music festival being attacked on Oct. 7, he heard a woman screaming for help and yelling “They’re raping me,” referring to Hamas terrorists, according to the AP. The man heard gunshots and the woman subsequently went silent.
One woman who survived the Oct. 7 attacks testified that she saw a group of Hamas terrorists rape another woman before mutilating her breasts and shooting her in the head while still sexually assaulting her, according to the AP. An Israeli combat medic said that after the attacks he discovered six bodies of men and women, some of whom appeared to have distorted limbs and bleeding around the groin area.
