Ms. Soussana, 40, is the first Israeli to speak publicly about being sexually assaulted during captivity after the Hamas-led raid on southern Israel. In her interviews with The Times, conducted mostly in English, she provided extensive details of sexual and other violence she suffered during a 55-day ordeal.

Ms. Soussana’s personal account of her experience in captivity is consistent with what she told two doctors and a social worker less than 24 hours after she was freed on Nov. 30. Their reports about her account state the nature of the sexual act; The Times agreed not to disclose the specifics.

. . .

For months, Hamas and its supporters have denied that its members sexually abused people in captivity or during the Oct. 7 terrorist attack. This month, a United Nations report said that there was “clear and convincing information” that some hostages had suffered sexual violence and there were “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence occurred during the raid, while acknowledging the “challenges and limitations” of examining the issue.

Yea, if an invading force is slaughtering people to conquer your home, they are no longer just civilians. They are active combatants.

Do you not see any distinction between the actual military forces invading and slaughtering your people versus civilians who are living nearby?

I'm stating the difference between an invader and a civilian distinctly.

Your inability to address what I've said isn't my problem.

You're being clear as mud.

Let me just ask unequivocally -- do you think every Israeli person, regardless of where they live in the country, is an invader and a legitimate target?
