A United Nations report on Monday confirmed evidence of Hamas terrorists committing acts of sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel and against hostages the terrorist group captured.
"There are reasonable grounds to believe that multiple incidents of sexual violence took place with victims being subjected to rape and/or gang rape and then killed or killed while being raped," Pramila Patten, U.N. special representative on sexual violence in conflict, wrote in the report, describing Hamas's Oct. 7 invasion. Patten and nine other U.N. officials visited the invaded regions of Israel last month, meeting with Israeli officials and interviewing survivors, witnesses, and released hostages of the Oct. 7 invasion.
