"Hamas Under Investigation for October 7 Sexual Violence: Israel's Probe Unveils Horrifying Details"

Israeli police are investigating cases of rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas militants during the October 7 attacks on Israel. Witnesses have described brutal sexual assaults on women and girls, who were also physically tortured and killed. The police have collected over 1,000 statements and 60,000 video clips related to the attacks, but it is unclear if any rape victims survived. The investigation could potentially lead to prosecutions, but for now, the primary mission is to document the evidence. Human rights experts fear that the world is overlooking the violence against Israeli women and girls, and some families may seek justice in other countries or international courts.
