The emotional victim, whose identity remains protected for security reasons, shared his traumatic experience in a video that has since gone viral, painting a disturbing picture of the treatment hostages face in Hamas custody.
The Harrowing Confession
During his emotional testimony, the former captive detailed how he became a victim of systematic s3xual assault while being held in Gaza. His voice trembling with emotion, he described the physical and psychological torture that became his daily reality.
"They treated us like animals," he wept, "The s3xual violence was constant and brutal. I never imagined human beings could be so cruel to one another."
International Outrage Grows
The shocking revelation has sparked widespread condemnation from human rights organizations and world leaders alike. Many are calling for immediate investigations into war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law.
