"UN Report Confirms Sexual Violence Against Hostages in Gaza by Hamas"
A United Nations report led by special envoy Pramila Patten found "clear and convincing" evidence of sexual abuse and conflict-related sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, during Hamas' October 7 terror attack in Israel. The report also highlighted allegations of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment in the West Bank, including various forms of sexual violence against Palestinian detainees. The UN team faced challenges in gathering and verifying incidents of sexual violence, and some widely reported alleged incidences were determined to be unfounded. Hamas has denied the allegations, and the Israel Defense Forces have been reached out to for comment.
