Thirteen women and two men who survived captivity by Hamas said they experienced or witnessed sexual violence while held hostage in Gaza, according to a new report by a group of Israeli researchers known as the Dinah Project.

Evidence shows Hamas used sexual violence systematically during October 7 attack, with a report urging international community to recognize these acts as weapons of war.

The report was presented to Israel's First Lady Michal Herzog during a meeting with released hostages and a team working on the report.
