A person shared his agonizing experience of being stripped naked and being raped by Hamas members on October 7, when about 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and about 250 were abducted.
The target described for the first time in an interview with Channel 12 how the intruders had treated him inhumanely and humiliated. Describing the assault, he said,” They pin you to the ground, you try to resist, they take off your clothes, laugh at you, humiliate you, spit at you”.
” They touched sections, they murder you”.
Narrating the trauma, he said,” There is a circle ,]people ] laugh, and you do n’t know what to do in the moment, whether you should resist or let it pass, how to deal with the situation”.
” There was a very tough rape”, he added. ” It’s a pretty tough time. Failure in the whole body. As if your body is low”.
Describing the indifference of his adversaries, the sufferer said,” They were madly intoxicated, celebrating, laughing with their guns, with their weapons”.
As the struggle continued, various Hamas users arrived, ordering the rapists to quit in order to continue their aggressive rampage. The target managed to escape in the middle of the panic along with other survivors who had been helped by the Israeli security forces.
The victim dealt with traumatic memories of the incident and said,” ] I take ] a lot, a lot of showers, to get all that energy off me, everything that happened”.
The evidence is just one of many that Israeli police are gathering to show the volume of sexual attack that occurred during the October 7 attack. Over 100 event survivors have filed lawsuits demanding more than$ 137 million in government funding as a result of these statements.
A UN report on sexual assault in fight found “reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual assault occurred during the 7 October assaults in at least three locations, including rape and group assault.” Additionally, the report provides compelling proof that some of the more than 250 victims who were abducted by Hamas were raped and that those still in prison are also subject to such abuse.
