‘More than 9 months’: Hostage Family Forum publishes video implying pregnant hostages
The Hostage Family Forum has published a video implying female hostages were raped and impregnated in captivity, N12 reported Saturday afternoon.
The video depicts a woman with a pregnant belly sitting in rubble in a tunnel, with the sound of a baby crying in the background.
Only parts of the video were approved for public viewing by the Second Authority for Television and Radio.
The video depicts a tunnel, which cuts to a video of a pregnant woman and the sound of a crying baby.
The video is captioned “It’s been more than 9 months” – the gestational period for a human pregnancy.
Hamas’s use of sexual violence
Hamas’s use of sexual violence was documented on October 7, and terrorists have since admitted to committing rape in addition to murder while invading southern Israel.
The treatment of female hostages in Hamas captivity has been a major concern for the Israeli public, who have focused many of their campaigns on urging international action to secure their release.
In May, footage of 5 female soldiers kidnapped from the Nahal Oz base was released. The footage revealed terrorists refer to the women as ‘Sabaya,’ which translates to ‘sex slaves.’
Hostages that were freed in the November deal confirmed that female captives were being sexually abused by their terrorist captors.
