UN: 'Convincing' evidence Hamas committed sexual violence against hostages

United Nations investigators found “clear and convincing” evidence that Hamas committed sexual violence against hostages held in Gaza and that there were “reasonable grounds” that sexual violence occurred during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack.

A new report from the U.N. envoy focusing on sexual violence concluded there is “reasonable” evidence to believe Hamas carried out sexual violence during the attack in which Hamas killed roughly 1,200 people, the vast majority of whom were civilians, and kidnapped roughly 250 others from southern Israel.
