Investigation documents sexual violence as systematic Hamas strategy during October 7 attacks

A two-year independent Israeli investigation released in 2024-2025 concluded that Hamas and Palestinian attackers used sexual and gender-based violence as a deliberate, systematic strategy during the October 7, 2023 attacks and subsequent hostage captivity. The 300-page report, based on hundreds of interviews, thousands of photographs and videos, and official records, found patterns of rape, sexual torture, mutilation, and abuse designed to maximize suffering and terrorize Israeli society. Hamas has denied these allegations; the UN previously concluded there were "reasonable grounds" such violence occurred.

The split, in one line

Breitbart emphasizes the investigation's institutional credibility; BBC stresses independence and prior UN findings.
