    I am writing this not to undermine any witness testimonies. Yes, it’s extremely likely that women and men were raped in this situation. This is something we know happens in war, no point denying it.

    I just want to point out that this particular site that this article is from is a right wing pro-Israeli nationalist site that also dabbles in conspiracy theories.

    You can check the rating here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/tablet-magazine/

    Seems to mostly publish factual information, but it is good to know what the source is and what to look out for.

    They are the only ones with any story about this now. I for one would rather wait until the investigation is done and we can understand what happened in that massacre. That being said, rape is a likely outcome.

      times of israel is ranked “high” and made a similar report . (very difficult description ahead, consider if you want to read this stuff).

      Two videos in particular have raised concerns of sexual assault against women, one of which shows a woman apparently bleeding into her shorts being taken out of a vehicle in Gaza; the woman is alive. The other video shows a woman stripped down to her underwear lying face down in a truck.

      I’m wondering how anyone could have witnessed these rapes and escaped to tell about it.
