Survivors Detail Horrific Sexual Violence in October 7 Hamas Attack

Israeli Police and United Nations Launch Investigations into Alleged Mass Rapes and Beheadings

Survivors of the October 7 Hamas attack in Israel, including at the Supernova music festival, have come forward with testimonies of horrific sexual violence, including gang rapes and beheadings.
Yoni Saadon, a survivor, recounts witnessing a woman being raped by eight to ten Hamas fighters before being shot in the head, and another woman being beheaded with a shovel.
Initial investigations into the sexual violence were hampered due to the lack of physical evidence and the challenges of collecting evidence in an active warzone.
Despite these challenges, Israeli police are building cases against Hamas terrorists who participated in the sexual assaults, with the goal of trying them for rape.
The United Nations has also launched an inquiry into the sexual violence Hamas is accused of committing during the October 7 attack.
