First survivor of 'Nova' massacre opens up about rape by Hamas terrorists - report

Nine and a half months after surviving the Hamas massacre at the "Nova" party, Survivor 'D shared details of his rape at the hands of Hamas Nukhba terrorists for the first time in a Tuesday evening report by N12.

"It's a very difficult moment," said D. "Weakness throughout the body. It's as if your blood is permissible. They were in a crazy state of ecstasy, celebrating, laughing with their guns, with their knives. You kind of disconnect from the situation, but on the other hand, you experience it very strongly. It's very hard."

On the morning of October 7, D escaped alone from the terrorists until he was caught. "These were Nukhba terrorists, really pinning you to the floor," he recalled. "You try to resist, and they take off your clothes, laugh at you, humiliate you, spit on you, touch your body parts, and rape you."

D continued to describe the difficult moments: "There's a circle, they're laughing, and you don't know what to do at that moment, whether to resist or let it pass, how to deal with the situation. It was a very brutal rape. At some point, more people arrived and called them, so they had to stop."

This is the first time a survivor of the massacre has openly discussed his sexual assault by terrorists.

rape crises centers in Israel were reporting that men had also been raped at the Nova festival and on the kibbutzim. The world chose not to believe them.

And I hope that the survivors of this atrocity are able to overcome the pain. It will be very difficult.
