Israel’s Channel 12 presented an interview with an unnamed man identified as “D” who spoke about the sexual violence inflicted on him by Hamas terrorists at the Nova music festival during the Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel.
D described being pinned to the ground and stripped of his clothes. “Laugh at you, humiliate you, spit at you,” he said. “They touched [private] parts, they rape you.”
He talked about being in a circle surrounded by men laughing, not knowing whether to resist or submit to what he called “a very difficult rape.” He called the experience “a very tough moment. Weakness in the entire body. As if your blood is cheap.”
The ordeal ended when other Hamas operatives arrived and instructed the rapists to stop and continue the larger attack, per the TV report.
As D tries to recover, he revealed an obsession with trying to keep clean. He said, “[I take] a lot, a lot of showers, to get all that energy off me, everything that happened.”
