A United Nations report on Monday confirmed “clear and convincing” evidence of Hamas terrorists committing gang rape, genital mutilation, and other forms of sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
“There are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped,” Pramila Patten, U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict, wrote in the report.
“Several fully naked or partially naked bodies from the waist down were recovered—mostly women—with hands tied and shot multiple times, often in the head,” Patten noted, adding that Hamas terrorists perpetrated acts of sexual violence “in at least three locations, namely: the Nova music festival site and its surroundings, Road 232, and Kibbutz Re’im.”
Patten and nine other U.N. officials visited the invaded regions of Israel last month, meeting with Israeli officials and interviewing survivors, witnesses, and released hostages of the Oct. 7 invasion. After reviewing 50 hours of video footage, 5,000 photographs, 34 interviews, and other evidence, the U.N. team found “clear and convincing information that sexual violence, including rape, sexualized torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment has been committed against hostages.”
Hamas’s sexual atrocities against Israelis on Oct. 7 had been denied by many critics of Israel, including a podcast producer for Barack and Michelle Obama and a Los Angeles Times reporter. The U.N. report, however, corroborated Israel’s longstanding allegations against Hamas as well as a New York Times investigation in late December, which found the Palestinian militants inflicted “rape, mutilation, and extreme brutality against women” during their invasion of Israel.
