Amid war and urgent need to ID bodies, evidence of Hamas’s October 7 rapes slips away

Despite definitive witness testimony, global skepticism persists about the terrorists’ sexual crimes. ToI investigates how a mass-casualty event in a war zone made forensic determination impossible

Reflecting the government’s official position, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Hamas committed acts of “murder, rape, kidnapping,” in Hebrew-language remarks, repeated multiple times over the past month.

However, the government has not released explicit footage or pressed rape survivors to share their stories. Nor have the forensic services released formal reports on whether their findings were consistent with sexual abuse.

This seemingly official decision not to provide clear evidence of rape to international media has fed persistent criticism, mostly from abroad, and many media outlets are now framing the October 7 rapes as a claim rather than a fully substantiated fact.

Lack of evidence completely justify scepticism of the claims as it should, especially as it so conveniently demonises Hamas.

That 'we can't produce evidence, won't be able to produce evidence, you will just have to believe us that it's true' isn't going to reduce scepticism, will only increase it.

Israel has a long history of lying and making claims that are never evidenced so it's not surprising they would play their 'the suckers will believe anything; they unquestionably support us' card since Hamas's attack.

Exaggeration often betrays propaganda and that's been no more evident than in claims of beheading babies, slicing breasts off and using them as footballs. Or being simply unbelievable; that Hamas came with plans and quotas to rape at an event which wasn't even scheduled to be happening, which Hamas didn't even know was happening when they attacked.

Beheaded babies; false. Hamas's Al-Shifa tunnels; no evidence. Rapes; no evidence.

But it won't stop some people believing whatever they want believe as fact and truth even when it isn't.
