Israeli lawyer Amit Soussana was kidnapped from her home on October 7 by at least 10 armed men and taken to Gaza. During her captivity, she endured physical and sexual violence at the hands of her captors in various locations in Gaza. Despite Hamas’ denial of any sexual abuse against hostages, a United Nations report confirmed the presence of sexual violence during the terrorist attack of October 7.
After being released along with other hostages during a ceasefire in late November, Soussana spoke publicly about her ordeal, shedding light on the plight of those still held captive in Gaza. Her detailed and harrowing account of her experience has sparked controversy and disbelief from Hamas officials. Through her courage in speaking out, Soussana aims to raise awareness about the atrocities committed against civilian hostages in Gaza. Her story serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, shedding light on the horrors faced by innocent individuals caught in the crossfire.
