Israeli Civil Commission Report Documents Systematic Sexual Terror by Hamas in October 2023 Attacks; Victims Represent 52 Nationalities
Chandigarh 13 May ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : A landmark 300-page investigative report released today by the Civil Commission on Crimes Against Women and Children has documented a "systematic and widespread" campaign of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) during the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and to the treatment of hostages taken to Gaza. The 300-page report, titled "Silenced No More: Sexual Terror Unveiled," provides an extensive evidentiary record of atrocities that investigators conclude were utilized as a calculated weapon of war rather than incidental acts of violence.
The findings are the result of a two-year independent investigation led by Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy. Investigators reviewed more than 10,000 photographs and video segments, amounting to over 1,800 hours of visual analysis, and conducted more than 430 interviews, testimonies and meetings with survivors, witnesses, returned hostages, experts and family members. The Commission said victims represented 52 nationalities, underlining the international scale of the crimes documented. The Commission identified recurring patterns of abuse, including rape, gang rape, sexual torture, mutilation, forced nudity, sexualised humiliation, post-mortem abuse, and the filming and circulation of violence to amplify terror.
A central feature of the report is its focus on what it calls “kinocidal sexual violence”: acts allegedly carried out in the presence of family members or designed to destroy family bonds and create enduring psychological trauma. The report also details a "digital theatre of terror," where perpetrators recorded and broadcast these acts in real-time, often via the victims' own social media accounts. These findings reinforce previous observations by United Nations Special Representative Pramila Patten, who cited "reasonable grounds to believe" such violence occurred during and after the initial attacks.
The Commission concludes that the documented crimes may constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal acts under international law. In its conclusion, the Commission calls for immediate international legal action, including the use of universal jurisdiction to prosecute perpetrators and the establishment of specialized judicial chambers for conflict-related sexual violence. Dr. Elkayam-Levy emphasized that the formal recognition of these crimes is an essential prerequisite for justice and for ensuring that these events are preserved accurately in the permanent historical record. The Civil Commission is an independent, non-governmental organization comprising legal experts and human rights advocates dedicated to documenting war crimes. The full report, which includes contributions from international legal authorities such as Hon. Irwin Cotler and Prof. David Crane, is available for public and judicial review at the Commission’s official website.
