Report Finds ‘Deliberate and Coordinated’ Use of Sexual Violence by Hamas on Oct. 7
“Women and girls, and, in many cases, men and boys, were subjected to rape, sexualized torture, mutilation…”
A detailed study has established that Hamas and allied Palestinian terror groups systematically used rape and horrific forms of sexual violence during the October 7 massacre. A 290-page report released by an independent Israeli organization, The Civil Commission, found that “sexual violence was not incidental, it was deliberate, coordinated, and embedded in the attack itself.”
The sexual violence, “primarily targeting women, children and hostages,” began the moment Palestinian intruders invaded southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and continued throughout their captivity in Gaza. “Across homes, roads, shelters, the Nova music festival, military bases, and during captivity in Gaza, Hamas and its collaborators used sexual violence as a widespread and systematic tactic,” the commission found. “These were not isolated incidents. They followed recurring, organized patterns across multiple locations and phases of the attack, including during abduction, transfer, and prolonged captivity.”

A 300-page report, two and a half years in the making, documents the systematic sexual violence of Oct. 7 — much of it broadcast by the terrorists. The deniers have nowhere left to stand.@Jerusalem_Post pic.twitter.com/gXPBnSyssh— Zvika Klein צביקה קליין (@ZvikaKlein) May 12, 2026
The report, based on 430 testimonies and more than 10,000 photographs and video evidence, uncovered that rape and sexual assault were not only deployed to harm the victim, but as “instruments of psychological warfare” to “terrorize families, communities,” and the Israeli society at large.
The documented evidence and materials “are almost unbearable in their brutality,” the report acknowledged. “Women and girls, and, in many cases, men and boys, were subjected to rape, sexualized torture, mutilation, forced nudity, and desecration of bodies. Parents were murdered in front of their children; siblings assaulted in front of one another; victims stripped, violated, filmed, and displayed.”
The recurring forms of violence compiled by the commission include ‘rape and gang rape, sexual torture and mutilation, forced nudity, executions linked to sexual violence, postmortem sexual abuse, and sexual assaults carried out in the presence of family members.’
The filming of the crimes and their circulation was not incidental, but part of Hamas’s October 7 strategy, the report said:
The investigation also documents how perpetrators weaponized visibility and digital dissemination as part of the violence itself, including sexualized content. Armed groups recorded acts of abuse, humiliation, and killing, and circulated the footage through social media platforms and victims’ own digital accounts. In numerous cases, family members first learned of the fate of their loved ones through images or videos distributed by perpetrators. This deliberate use of digital media transformed acts of violence into instruments of psychological warfare directed not only at victims but also at families and society at large.
Hamas wanted Israelis and the world to see its depraved war crimes. Palestinian attackers recorded and proudly publicized their atrocities on social media. “They filmed everything. They wanted the world to see what they did to her,” Ricarda Louk, mother of 22-year-old Shani Louk, who was murdered and taken hostage to Gaza, said in her testimony.
Daily Mail: A Civil Commission report on Hamas’ Oct. 7 atrocities details systematic sexual violence.
Investigators analyzed 10,000+ photos and videos (1,800+ hours) alongside testimonies and data.
Findings include rape, gang rape, sexual torture, mutilation, forced nudity, and…

The report, which comes a day after the Israeli parliament passed a law allowing public trials and the death penalty for the perpetrators of the October 7 attacks, classified Hamas’ atrocities as war crimes and acts of genocide:
Based on its investigation, the Civil Commission’s findings conclude that these crimes constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocidal acts under international law. Therefore,the report establishes a clear roadmap for the prosecution of the crimes committed on October 7th and during captivity. The report presents a clear evidentiary and legal foundation for the investigation and prosecution of those responsible.
The document, containing images of charred and bloodied crime scenes and faces of innocent victims, is a difficult read. The authors of the report themselves note that its “content may be emotionally distressing for readers, particularly survivors of violent crimes and atrocities,” while emphasizing the necessity “to honor and preserve their truths is both our responsibility and our source of strength.”
Though the accounts of Palestinian-Islamist atrocities of October 7 are painful to examine, they present an insight into the depraved psyche of the enemy Israel and the West faces. “Reading the document is particularly harrowing, reflecting the scale of the violence committed on October 7, when more than 1,200 people of all ages were killed and 251 hostages, both living and dead, were taken captive to Gaza,” the French newspaper Le Monde observes.

I would show my shocked face, but I have showed it so many times I wore it.
This is my don’t give a crap face 😑
This is why the NYT published Kristof’s dog fantasy.
It beggars belief they ran that story. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that rape dogs is a load of f88king bollocks but apparently the left doesn’t have many people capable of thinking for themselves! 🙄😡🤬
Leave it to the communist rag, the NYT, and terrorist facilitator Nicholas Kristof to accuse Israel of the mentally ill crimes of Hamas animals.
Well, according to Nicholas Kristof’s report today in Izvestia on the Hudson (a/k/a the NYT) Israel has been training dogs to perform the biologically impossible act of raping women. His source, an innocent sounding NGO which is not so innocently related to Hamas.
Expect the report about Hamas’s systematic use of rape on Oct. 7th to be deep-sixed by the Leftist Media, while they give prominence to fictitious claims by Hamas about physically impossible evil things Israel has done. The Leftist Media clearly wants to whip-up antisemitism that will end up with Jews injured or murdered.
We shoot mad dogs. Don’t we?
.
If you’re a democrat, you use taxpayer money to give them welfare and a room in a luxury hotel.
Say no more, bomb the West Bank
Into glass and plant a hotel on it
Enough of these animals.
And the world refuses to believe it
I remember that picture, did she survive?
I think she did, not sure
This is your daily reminder (as if it’s at all necessary) that Islam is evil unleashed upon the earth.
The so-called “Palestinians” were not subjected to genocide after October 7th, but they certainly deserved one.
Hamas says so, so it must be so. You just can’t find the bodies because Israel used phasers from Star Trek to vaporize them. Islamists are so creative with their lies.
In an Arab city, a man was taking a nap.
He was distrubed by the noises of urchins playing in the street.
Wishing to send them away, he stuck his head out the window and yelled, “They’re giving out free loukoum and baklava in the marketplace!”
Hearing that, the urchins ran off in the direction of the marketplace, and the man resumed his nap.
He then awakened with a start. “What?” He cried. “They’re giving out free sweets in the marketplace and I’m not getting my share? What’s wrong with me?”
support the israeli’s efforts to bring those animals to justice–however, killing them is insufficient punishment imo
every last one
Typical comments from Women’s Groups, Feminists, AWFULs, and progressive women, and democrats:
Israel is committing genocide
Israel is committing war crimes
Israel is starving women and children
Israel is killing women and children
Isreal is raping muslim women
Kill the Jews
In Oct 2024 you mainly heard nothing from them – they were mostly silent,
Who knew that was preferable to what you hear now,
Where is the Hamas and Palestinian-supporting Hasan Piker on this report now? Here’s hoping his ridiculous popularity begins to fade away into TikTok’s dustbin of stupidity
so until cnn and hilary clinton backed it up
are we now suppose to be happy that the story was true!!
whew!!!
believe all women …(lefty failed their own agenda) unless they are jewish women
(and the left really is even more happy that males were raped)
Of course.
Why do you think rags like the NYT were out there shoving moronic Pallywood propaganda about ‘rapedogs’ that the Israelis used?
They were frantically trying to deflect, as always.
Remember, almost all of this is known BECAUSE THEY FILMED AND POSTED IT THEMSELVES.
We knew this. We knew this on October 8th.
muslims are infinitely worse than the NAZI’s.
Hitler’s Socialists created their death camps as a reaction to the fact that german soldiers were repulsed, and often refused, to execute Jews. They had to hide it away from civilians, with the killings carried out by a small number of the most zealous followers.
It was understood by all that what was being done was evil. They justified it rhetorically, as a necessary evil, but they weren’t celebrating it with jubilation.
For islam, the horrors perpetrated on 10/7 are seen as a positive good by virtually their entire culture. Civilians willingly participate. Boast about what they’ve done to friends and family, and are openly celebrated by everyone. They pass out candies and dance in the streets, like they do at weddings, after each terror atrocity.
This is mainstream islam now. NOT a radical fringe.
Worse, it extends to non-muslim supporters. Western Liberals are entirely on board with this.
Hitler’s National Socialists were rank amateurs on anti-semitism compared to modern western liberals and muslims. He would be shocked and horrified by them.
Not any real surprises in that report. Those sorts of tactics are pretty common in non westernized societies. That the NYT more/less rejected coverage of the report and instead ran a loony piece by Kristof with practically zero evidence or on the record sources and those on the record are mostly known propagandists with shady histories culminating in farcical ‘Israeli rape dogs’ tells us the NYT remains true to their roots of hostility towards Jews in general and opposed to Western Civilization….except when they wish to use its institutions and inherent morality to engage in sabotage against it.
There must be a defamation case somewhere in the Kristoff slander.
Hard as it is to accept, we must come to terms with the fact that we have allowed a death cult to flourish in our midst, which has now infected a substantial portion or our youth. They will continue to escalate until their leadership and propaganda resources are destroyed, and in the mean time they will serve as willing proxies for the enemies of civilization. This reckoning is unavoidable, and will determine if our culture survives or succumbs to the darkness we have enabled through our denial.
Is there such a thing as ‘unintentional and disjointed’ sexual assault in a war zone?
The chapter on Sexual Violence in the “7 October Parliamentary
Commission Report” from the British Parliament already made many of these points in March of 2025.
While I seriously doubt absurd accounts of Israelis training dogs to rape women, it, unfortunately, is not biologically impossible as Nazi torturer Klaus Barbie subjected his female victims to such indignities.
