The 6 key findings from the most comprehensive report on sexual violence during the October 7th massacre:
1. Hamas systematically used sexual violence as a tactical weapon during the October 7th massacre. There were clear patterns of abuse across multiple locations, and these continued in captivity.
2. The atrocities were rooted in Hamas’ deeply antisemitic, genocidal ideology that explicitly permitted extreme brutality and the dehumanization of Jews. This was not random or incidental. It was a calculated part of their genocidal strategy to terrorize and break Israeli society.
3. Sexual violence was widespread and systematic, occurring in at least six different locations: Nova music festival, Route 232, Nahal Oz military base, Kibbutz Re’im, Kibbutz Nir Oz, and Kibbutz Kfar Aza. The repetition across sites proves it was a deliberate strategy, not chaos.
4. The vast majority of sexual violence victims were murdered during or immediately after the assaults. This created profound evidentiary challenges, as the victims were permanently silenced. This unique reality requires an adapted legal and evidentiary approach by investigators and courts.
5. Every terrorist who participated in the October 7 attack bears full responsibility for all acts of sexual violence committed, whether they directly perpetrated them or not. There is collective command responsibility for these crimes.
6. The evidence is overwhelming. The patterns are unmistakable. The international community must treat Hamas’s use of sexual violence with the same seriousness it applies to other armed groups. Hamas must be held responsible, not just for the murders, but for the systematic sexual terror they unleashed on October 7th.
The victims deserve truth and justice.
