The Capture of a Palestinian Terrorist

The Israel Defense Forces’ military intelligence released footage Thursday of a captured Palestinian terrorist admitting to interrogators that he raped an Israeli girl on Oct. 7.

Details of the Incident

Manar Mahmoud Muhammad Kasem, 28, identified as a member of the “naval force” of the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), was arrested by IDF troops in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Yunis earlier this month. When asked in Arabic by an interrogator from the military’s Intelligence Unit 504 about the events of October 7, Kasem described how he crossed into Israel from Gaza with other PIJ terrorists with a pistol and two grenades.

The Horrific Crime

“I entered the kibbutz and went into the nearest house. The first time I walked in there was no one there, and then I walked into a room and there was someone there who was scared,” he said in the video. The girl begged for help, Kasem said, but he “put her down, started taking her off and did what I did.”

Confession of a Monster

“The devil has taken over me,” he said. “I raped her.” He continued: “She pushed me, it didn’t take long as I heard shouting outside.” Kasem described the girl as wearing a blue skirt, white shirt, sandals, pink underwear and a pink bra. The rape lasted less than two minutes, according to the terrorist, who said he was interrupted when two armed terrorists from Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades entered the room along with the girl’s mother and took both women away.

Reports of Abuse and Sexual Crimes

Israel is investigating numerous reports of rape during the invasion of the northwestern Negev on October 7, when thousands of armed Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters stormed the border, killing about 1,200 people, wounding thousands more and taking 253 hostages. The full extent of the terrorists’ sexual crimes will never be known, as many of the victims and witnesses were murdered on October 7th.

A Brave Survivor Speaks Out

On Tuesday, released Israeli hostage Amit Soussana revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she was sexually abused during the 54 days she spent in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. While several female hostages released as part of the November ceasefire have spoken of sexual abuse in Gaza, Soussana’s interview marked the first time a released hostage publicly detailed Hamas’s sexual crimes.

The Impact of Sexual Assault

Soussana told this Just She was held in a child’s room and tied at her ankle. Several times, a guard named Muhammad came in, sat next to her on the bed, lifted her shirt and touched her, she said. About two weeks into her captivity, Mohammed attacked Soussana after briefly freeing her from her restraints to go to the toilet. The guard forced her at gunpoint to “perform a sexual act on him,” she said.

Conclusion

At least one in 10 of the hostages released during the temporary ceasefire was sexually assaulted or abused, said a doctor who treated some of the 110 people released from captivity Associated Press last year. The disturbing revelations highlight the grave impact of sexual violence in conflict zones and the urgent need for justice for survivors.
