GAZA May 22. 2024 (Saba) - The Associated Press confirmed on Wednesday that many stories of sexual assault on the seventh of October turned out to be untrue.
The agency quoted a Zionist volunteer who claimed sexual assault during the October 7 attack as saying that he did not fabricate stories but interpreted what he saw in a wrong way. He pointed out that he corrected this later.
The Zionist government and media claim that Hamas fighters beheaded children and committed abuses such as rape, but Hamas denied this, publishing videos showing its mujahideen treating children in a friendly manner.
Another video showed the Qassam Brigades fighters releasing a woman and her two children at the border, after she kept them in custody during a shooting.
Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, said in an English-language statement that "the world will discover the falsehood and falsity of the Zionist narrative that spreads misleading information about alleged atrocities committed by the Palestinian resistance."
"Such allegations have never been proven, no evidence has been presented to support such false claims."
The religious NGO Zaka, which collected the bodies in the wake of the Oct. 7 attack, admitted several months later that media reports of sexual assault during the attack were untrue.
For three months, a volunteer from Zaka, a nongovernmental organization founded in 1995 that deals with unnatural deaths and works in cooperation with all emergency services and security forces, most of whom are ultra-Orthodox Jews, told reporters about fabricated stories about a pregnant woman's belly cow during the October 7 attack and beheading children.
ZAKA asked the volunteer to stop telling reporters the fabricated story about the October 7 attack, but he did not respond until months later.
