Israeli officials on Monday acknowledged that no cases of rape or sexual assault were filed following the October 7 operation led by Palestinian Resistance factions. The announcement comes after extensive investigations into the events surrounding the operation.

The former lead prosecutor in "Israel's" Southern District Prosecutor's Office and member of Team 7.10, Moran Gaz, shared these findings during an interview for Ynet. The team handles cases involving Palestinians detained in connection with the attacks.

"In the end, we don't have any complainants. What was presented in the media compared to what will eventually come together will be entirely different," Gaz stated. 

Gaz added that women's rights organizations were contacted to verify claims but reported no cases.

"We approached women's rights organizations and asked for cooperation. They told us that no one had approached them," she said.

Unverified claims, skepticism

Despite the absence of evidence, initial claims of mass sexual violence by Palestinian fighters had dominated international headlines.

Similar allegations in the past, including those debunked by United Nations experts in March 2023, were also found to be unverified or false.

Other graphic accusations, such as reports of babies being beheaded, have been widely discredited but continued to circulate in political rhetoric.

Gaz, however, has maintained a hardline stance, stating, "Those detained in connection with the 7 October attacks have no right to live."

The lack of evidence for these allegations has further fueled skepticism regarding Israeli narratives about the attacks, often used to justify its continued genocidal campaign in Gaza.

More than 45,800 people, primarily women and children, have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war.

This has occurred despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.

"Israel" is also facing international scrutiny, with the International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrants in November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Security Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"Israel" is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
