Israeli officials say that everywhere Hamas terrorists struck — the rave, the military bases along the Gaza border and the kibbutzim — they brutalized women.

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.

Many of the accounts are difficult to bear, and the visual evidence is disturbing to see.

The Times viewed photographs of one woman’s corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin.

The Times also viewed a video, provided by the Israeli military, showing two dead Israeli soldiers at a base near Gaza who appeared to have been shot directly in their vaginas.

Bypass paywall.

    I would recommend Reddit r/worldnews. It is a great place to discuss and spread ZioNazi propaganda. Lemmy is more for people who aren’t straight up IDF shills.

    The worst thing that at least some attackers on Oct 7 did do was execute unarmed parents in front of their children. There is video evidence of that on their GoPros

    Almost all of the other really bad accusations have turned out to be baseless lies such as the 40 beheaded babies. The rape is a major one that somehow still keeps getting repeated without any evidence. Unless there is evidence provided it didn’t happen.

      What insane accusations. You’re really a lost cause. I am happy not to have any such attitudes in my local refugee support and antifascist groups, history will again prove us right. No pasaran against imperialism, religion, hierarchies and racism.
