Content Warning: Graphic descriptions of sexual assault

A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.

Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

Four witnesses described in graphic detail seeing women raped and killed at two different places along Route 232, the same highway where Ms. Abdush’s half-naked body was found sprawled on the road at a third location.

And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush’s — legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.

    I’m just curious, where is the ‘solid evidence’ you speak of?

    I have no doubt Hamas committed rapes, but so far I’ve only seen testimony to go off of.

    Unfortunately, testimonies aren’t very reliable (especially in times of war), so I was wondering if you are seeing more ‘solid evidence’ than people’s testimonies.

    Edit: He just downvoted me in a minute but provided no further evidence, so we can assume that testimonies are the only ‘solid evidence’ he’s referring to.

      Women are all liars!!! Why don’t you go back to the red pill or whatever misogynist shithole you crawled out of. The evidence is detailed in the article which you refuse to read.

        Can you specify what evidence you’re referring to so I know exactly what you’re talking about?

        You can also leave the insults at home, especially if you can’t provide evidence beyond testimony.

        Edit: Just another downvote with no specification. We can safely assume that he has no ‘solid evidence’, only testimony. Of course he gets mad when pressed on it because he’s a stooge for propaganda.

        I still think Hamas committed rapes, but I won’t take Israeli testimony at face-value because of their history of fabricating lies about their enemies. Same reason I don’t take Russian or Nazi testimony at face-value.

        You won’t look but there’s plenty of pics of women raped and tortured of Oct 7. You’re a strong pro-hamas guy - seen you trolling and you know this already. Shame on you

          Now make a set for the Palestinian Jews raped by the Russian invaders that kicked off this mess. How about a set for the moment Gaza became a concentration camp? What about a set for the villages torn down for space for Tel Aviv or the settlements? How about a set from a few weeks ago where more Palestinians were kicked out of Hebron? How about a set of the people raped by that Mossad creation: Jeffery Epstein. 200 people is “your 911”? How gross are you to ignore the millions dead and dislaced by your people’s actions.

          How about you figure out why the descendants of your favorite story characters are absolutely livid of how they have been treated on their own land.
