Hamas had a premeditated plan to use sexual violence as a weapon of war, an Israeli women's rights campaigner and lawyer has said.
Prof Ruth Halperin-Kaddari said she saw footage of women in several locations whose condition left her in "no doubt" that they had been raped.
There has been anger over the delay of some UN bodies to acknowledge claims of Hamas's sexual atrocities on 7 October.
Israel has been exploring evidence of sexual crimes during the attacks.
