Hamas used sexual violence as part of ‘genocidal strategy’, Israeli experts say
Israeli experts have alleged that Hamas, the Palestinian militant group controlling the Gaza Strip, has employed sexual violence as a tactic within what they describe as a ‘genocidal strategy’. The accusations have been made public in a report compiled by Israeli researchers, claiming that Hamas has been using sexual violence against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
According to the report, the use of sexual violence by Hamas is aimed at causing physical and psychological harm to Israeli individuals, with the ultimate goal of eradicating the Israeli population. The document highlights instances where Hamas members allegedly engaged in acts of sexual violence during military confrontations with Israeli forces.
Israeli officials have condemned these alleged actions, labeling them as abhorrent and a violation of international humanitarian law. They have called for the international community to investigate the claims and hold Hamas accountable for any such atrocities.
On the other hand, Hamas has vehemently denied these allegations, dismissing them as Israeli propaganda aimed at tarnishing the group’s image. Hamas officials have stated that the accusations are baseless and part of a broader Israeli strategy to delegitimize Palestinian resistance.
The report has sparked a fresh wave of tensions between Israel and Hamas, already engaged in long-standing conflict. The Israeli government is expected to use these allegations to further justify its military actions against Hamas in the region.
The international community has yet to respond to these specific allegations, with many calling for an independent investigation to determine the veracity of the claims.
