BREAKING: A new report compiled by over 430 witnesses, survivors, experts and medical staff of October 7th reveal new never before told horrors.
Women were stripped, bound, stabbed, shot, and burned. They were executed both during and after rape.

Men were also sexually assaulted, with at least one case of gang rape occurring.
