A new Civil Commission on October 7 Crimes Against Women and Children report that was released Tuesday details harrowing accounts of alleged rape and sexual abuse by Hamas on victims of the 2023 terror attack in Israel.

The report was gathered over the course of two years and finds that sexual violence during the terror attack was not incidental, but "deliberate, coordinated, and embedded in the attack itself."

The new comprehensive report includes firsthand testimonies from more than 10 survivors who experienced extreme sexual violence and sexual abuse either during the attack, their abduction or while they were held in captivity in Gaza. 

The report also includes testimony from witnesses, including people who claimed they saw or heard women being gang-raped and mutilated by Hamas soldiers. At least some of the women who were raped were killed shortly thereafter.

“I heard one rape where they were passing her around," one unnamed survivor said in the report. "She was probably injured, judging by her screams—screams you have never heard anywhere." 

The account was corroborated by another survivor and at least six other examples of people directly witnessing rapes and gang rapes are also included in the report, per CNN. 

Hamas has denied allegations of sexual violence and rape in the attack. 

The study's authors told CNN that the purpose of the report is to ensure that the suffering endured by the victims cannot be “denied, erased, or forgotten.” 

It consists of more than 10,000 photographs and video segments, 1,800 hours of visual material and more than 400 testimonies and interviews with survivors, witnesses, released hostages, experts and family members.
