"Silent Atrocities: Uncovering Sexual Violence Against Women in Conflict Zones"

A ZAKA volunteer described witnessing horrific signs of sexual violence on the victims of the October 7 Hamas massacres, including women and girls found in separate rooms, half-naked, and bleeding from the waist down. The volunteer emphasized that he lacked the medical expertise to confirm rape, but noted the disturbing pattern of women and girls being separated from their families and found in distressing conditions, indicating potential sexual violence and sadistic desecration by the attackers.
