**Hamas Accused of Systematic Sexual Violence in Genocidal Strategy, Israeli Experts Report**
A report from an all-women group of Israeli legal and gender experts alleges Hamas employed sexual violence as a strategic tool in the 7 October attacks on Israel, pushing for justice for victims.
The Dinah Project, formed after the 7 October incident, details harrowing accounts of sexual violence and harassment, providing a legal framework for the prosecution of such atrocities even without direct attribution.
The report outlines how Hamas allegedly utilized sexual violence strategically during their attack on October 7, 2023, leading to a significant number of sexual assaults reported by both survivors and witnesses. The Dinah Project, which was founded by prominent legal experts, has drawn efforts from various sources, including social media and witness testimonies, to formulate a substantial report aimed at highlighting these crimes.
In the wake of the attack that claimed over 1,200 lives and led to numerous hostages taken by Hamas, accusations of sexual violence have emerged alongside the ongoing conflict. Despite Hamas's denials of these claims, a UN mission corroborated confusing evidence of sexual violence during the attacks.
The Dinah Project's investigators have documented multiple incidents of sexual assault, including forced nudity and gang rapes, citing that many victims have been silenced by trauma or death. This vicious pattern of violence was specifically noted in several locations where the attacks occurred, including the Nova music festival.
The report advocates for a legal framework that holds perpetrators accountable for war crimes, even in cases where evidence is fragmented or victims cannot speak. It emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual violence in conflicts internationally and asserts that justice serves not only the victims but also reinforces a global adherence to accountability and human rights.
As the situation continues to evolve, global attention remains on the ramifications of this report and the implications it may have for future legal actions against sexual violence in conflict zones worldwide.
