Israeli women have been suffering because of the ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas fighters. Rape victims break silence on Hamas’ sexual violence. Israeli women have narrated the horrific details of their trauma over and over again in their quest for justice. 

The Israeli police have started investigating “several cases” of alleged sexual violence against Israeli women by Hamas fighters during the October 7 attacks. 

Various women claimed that they were raped by Hamas fighters during the attack. David Katz, head of the Lahav 443 criminal investigation unit, said, “We have no living victims who said ‘we have been raped’.”

Violence against women

According to Haaretz Today, rape victims said that they were raped repeatedly by Hamas fighters. Hamas kidnapped civilians, including children and women. They had been taken hostage by the Hamas militants.
