The report, titled &#8220;A Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond,&#8221; rebuts Hamas&#8217;s denial of sexual crimes and describes numerous atrocities, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/w-h-o-chief-tedros-marxist-political-party-accused-of-mass-rape-murder-in-ethiopia\/\" title=\"W.H.O.

It also documents ongoing sexual violence against captives, including forced nudity, harassment, assaults, and threats of forced marriage. The findings are based on eyewitness testimony, forensic data, and other evidence, affirming sexual violence as a crime against humanity. The report cites a previous UN examination that found &#8220;reasonable grounds&#8221; to believe Hamas committed similar crimes. Former hostage ilana Gritzewsky shared her traumatic experience of sexual humiliation during captivity and urged Israeli leadership to finalize a ceasefire and secure the release of the remaining hostages. The report&#8217;s release comes <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >amid ongoing diplomatic efforts<\/a> and contrasting accusations related to gender-based violence in the Israel-Gaza conflict.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">New evidence of Hamas Oct. 7 sexual violence emerges in Israeli report<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2165370\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hamas\">Hamas<\/a> was found to have deliberately perpetrated sexual violence against Israeli citizens as a weapon of war during its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/october-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"October 7, 2023, attack\">Oct. 7, 2023, attack<\/a> on southern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"October 7, 2023, attack\">Israel<\/a>, according to a new report published by an Israeli legal group on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Dinah Project&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/img.mako.co.il\/2025\/07\/08\/masacare.pdf?Partner=interlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"report\">report<\/a>, called &ldquo;A Quest for Justice: October 7 and Beyond,&rdquo; rebuts claims that Hamas terrorists did not commit sexual violence during the massacre.
