October 7th
On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a terrorist group, launched a brutal attack on Israel, leading to over 1,100 deaths. The violence included torture, mutilation, and sexual assault, with many victims executed post-assault. It was the worst day for the Jews since the Holocaust.
Evidence of the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7 includes survivor accounts and footage from the terrorists themselves. Sexual violence was rampant, yet some still deny these horrors. The truth must be acknowledged.
Not only did Hamas murder over 1,100 people in their October 7 attack, but they also subjected victims to torture, rape, and mutilation. Denial of these acts is an injustice to the victims. We must speak out.

The October 7 massacre led to numerous survivors of sexual violence, whose privacy and autonomy in sharing their experiences are respected by Israel. One survivor spoke out in July 2024, shedding light on these atrocities. This is his testimony.

The October 7 attacks were so brazenly documented by Hamas with body cameras and live broadcasts. It seems they were not only committing but also proudly showcasing their atrocities.
