“Widespread and Systematic”: New Report Uncovers Extent of Hamas’s Sexual Crimes on October 7
Hamas’s acts of sexual violence during the October massacre were “part of the broader campaign to destroy and annihilate the Israeli and Jewish population.”
A group of eminent Israeli legal experts has released a landmark report on sexual crimes committed by Hamas during the October 7 massacre based on eyewitness accounts and evidence collected on the ground. The Gaza-based terrorist group used sexual violence as “part of a deliberate genocidal strategy” on October 7, 2023, the report finds.
The objective of the 84-page report is to record Hamas’s crimes against women on October 7, 2023, and hold perpetrators accountable. The report also lays down a legal groundwork for the prosecution of terrorists who carried out these atrocities.
“Legally, [the report] aids in shaping frameworks for prosecuting perpetrators when identifying specific culprits among detained terrorists is challenging and evidence evaluation is complex,” the Israeli news website Ynetnews reported Wednesday.

The report was compiled by the Dinah Project, an Israel-based initiative created in response to the sexual violence and war crimes committed on October 7, 2023. The all-women initiative has since been locating witnesses and collecting evidence in an effort “to support prosecution in various tribunals and shaping the narrative on national and international levels,” the initiative says on its website. (Click here to view the complete report on Dinah Project’s website.)
The report titled “A Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond” seeks to create legal grounds for bringing perpetrators and their accomplices to justice. “Central to its mission is ensuring accountability for terrorists involved in CRSV [Conflict-related sexual violence] by researching and establishing legal doctrinal grounds for prosecution under joint responsibility laws,” the Dinah Project said in a recent statement.
“The report documented eyewitness accounts of multiple cases of rape, gang rapes, sexual assault, mutilations and torture of people on October 7, 2023 and in Hamas captivity in Gaza,” the statement added.
The authors of the report are aware that we may never know the true depth of Hamas’s depravity, which was on display on October 7, 2023. “In most of cases, the rape victims were murdered during or immediatly following the assault,” the document states (Page 37).
The report notes that “the vast majority of those sexually assaulted were among the 1,166 victims who were silenced forever.” It added that “many survivors may be too traumatized to recount their experiences.”
The Times of Israel noted the methodology and approach used by the authors of the report:
The Dinah Project, an initiative formed following October 7 that works to achieve recognition and justice for survivors of sexual violence in conflict zones, spent a year and a half consolidating all available evidence and reports on sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas during the attack and subsequently against hostages. (…)
The report consolidated data on sexual violence on October 7 and grouped it methodologically based on testimony from first-hand survivors, eyewitnesses, first responders, workers at the Shura military base, which served as a morgue, healthcare workers, and therapists, as well as captured photos and video footage. (…)
Based on existing doctrine in international and Israeli law, the authors call for the promotion of a key legal principle: the imposition of collective criminal responsibility on all participants in the attack — even if they did not personally commit rape — on the grounds that they knew, should have known, or took part in enabling sexual violence during the attack.
A new report by the Dinah Project has documented systematic sexual violence committed during and after the October 7 attack: assaults, rapes and brutal acts intended to terrorize and destroy.
The world must not look away.

Sexual violence was part of Hamas’s plan to “annihilate the Israeli and Jewish population” on October 7
The reports showed how Hamas terrorists were trained and indoctrinated ahead of the October 7 attack to commit heinous crimes.
It noted (on page 53) that Hamas-affiliated “Nukhba terrorists who participated in the assault on Israeli communities and military bases had previously undergone brutal mental conditioning and indoctrination explicitly aimed at brutal acts of terror and genocide.”
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING — Rape is not resistance.
A new report from The Dinah Project reveals Hamas used rape, sexual torture, and mutilation as weapons of war on October 7th. These weren't isolated acts — they were planned and they were systematic.

The sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas was part of its planned genocidal attack on Israel. “The attack was intended to annihilate, slaughter, and wreak destruction,” the legal experts concluded in the report. “The acts of sexual violence perpetrated within this framework, as part of the broader campaign to destroy and annihilate the Israeli and Jewish population, constitute crimes of genocide.”
Through this report, the Dinah Project seeks to create a legal framework for future conflicts involving sexual crimes. The authors of the report described their findings as the “first global legal blueprint explaining how to prosecute sexual violence as a weapon of war – even when evidence is messy, survivors are gone, and individual perpetrators can’t be tied to individual acts.”
A message from Michal.
I received the harrowing report from Project Dinah, bravely detailing Hamas’s systemic use of gang rape, forced nudity, sexual torture, and unspeakable abuse on October 7 and continuing in captivity.

It’s only Jews, so who cares? That is how it will be received. There are way too many with JDS!
There are less Jews on the planet today that before the start of WW2. So who cares?
For those that like deep dives in the subject area, one of the very best sites is Elder of Ziyon. He has some good links to this story and all things Jewish/Israel.

Thanks for those links.
I bookmarked them.
It’s worse than that. A lot of the comments at X are calling this just one more Jewish hoax intended to legitimize genocide & Jews secretly controlling the U.S.
A majority of “Palestinians” in Gaza still support these animals.
as does the dnc
They all support Hamas and their barbaric acts and actions on October 7th. Not simply a “majority of Gaza’s” but all of them.
As far as I am concerned ALL who support terrorists should be treated as terrorists, same penalty. The way they treat their children, programming them them to become terrorists tells me all I need to know.
Not just in Gaza. Even higher percentage in Judea & Samaria where they did not pay any consequences for the atrocities.
UN reports: scantily dressed women were seen luring young hummus males into provocative actions
A herd of goats would be more enticing.
I hope the IDF has terminated all the rapists, or will. Extreme prejudice should be applied.
That would be the entire Palestinian male population
“The objective of the 84-page report is to record Hamas’s crimes…and hold perpetrators accountable.”
Well, hold the surviving perpetrators accountable. Those become fewer every day. With some luck, no tribunal will ever have occasion to hear a case against any of these animals.
They deserve slow motion extreme prejudice.
Yet the left still maintains they are the victims.
On another thread I believe I said geld them. I was told that would be a cruel and unusual punishment. Still think that way after finding out how Hamas make rape and torture a part of their strategy?? I don’t.
Rescuing the kidnapped captive isn’t sufficient. Finding and gelding (my preference is actually killing) anyone involved in the attack should continue before allowing a cease fire. There is no reason to allow any of those animals to survive.
The POS, vile, silver spoon-fed Islamofascist/Muslim supremacist/neo-communist running for mayor of NYC, along with his fellow Dhimmi-crats, earnestly contends that the genocidal, Jew-hating and sadistic Arab invaders from Arabia — dishonestly re-branded as “Palestinians” — are alleged victims, in this conflict.
A herd of goats would be more enticing.
Why the deafening silence from feminists on the left?
I cannot understand the sympathy for Palestinians from Jews themselves. Reform Jews apparently lead the charge into progressive politics, which leads them to ignore injury done to Israelis in favor of blanket support for Palestinians. Or so it seems.
In my small circle of acquaintances, the Reform Jews seem to actually believe Trump supporters are Nazis. One lady returned from a tour of Auschwitz, and flinched when she ran into me. She was unable to even say hello. (I am proudly pro Trump in a very blue community.)
It’s stunning. No wonder there is so much anti-semiticism on US campuses if Jews themselves are participating.
My comments must be taken from the viewpoint that I am not an expert on the Palestinian – Israeli conflict. I cannot understand why Israel has not simply leveled Gaza whose people are defined solely on the basis of killing Israeli’s. Prior world conflicts had no proportionality component and the idea that violence solves nothing is a false narrative, violence solves just about everything which is why it is used often.
It has been known for some time that a lot of Israeli women and girls were raped after Oct. 7. This report will make no difference with the radical left. After all, way back when, Franz Fanon declared that the violation of the “colonizer” women was part of the “oppressed” reclaiming their “manhood”.
