A man who was stripped naked and raped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 has revealed for the first time how he was spat on and humiliated as his murderous rapists laughed.
The victim, only identified by the initial D, is the first man to speak about the sexual assault he and others experienced when Hamas’ elite Nukhba unit massacred, kidnapped and raped innocent people enjoying the Supernova music festival, according to local Channel 12.
A male rape survivor of the October 7 Nova festival attack has described the horror he had to endure.
“They pin you to the ground, you try to resist, they take off your clothes, laugh at you, humiliate you, spit at you,” said the victim, whose face was blurred and his voice distorted to keep his identity private.
“They touched [private] parts, they rape you.”
Pausing often while recounting the horrors of that day, D said he was shell-shocked to find himself surrounded by “celebrating, laughing” terrorists while others were dying around him.

AP“There is a circle, [people] laugh, and you don’t know what to do in the moment, whether you should resist or let it pass, how to deal with the situation,” he said.
“There was a very difficult rape,” he added.
“It’s a very tough moment. Weakness in the entire body. As if your blood is cheap,” D continued.
“They were wildly intoxicated, celebrating, laughing with their pistols, with their knives.”
As he was being sexually assaulted, the victim said other members of Hamas arrived and ordered the rapists to stop so they could carry on the terrorist attack.
During the chaos of the Supernova massacre, which left more than 360 civilians dead, the victim managed to escape with other survivors who were aided by the arriving Israel Defense Forces.
In the aftermath of the assault, D said he has become obsessed with cleanliness in an attempt to rid himself of the filth he experienced on Oct. 7.
“[I take] a lot, a lot of showers, to get all that energy off me, everything that happened,” he said.

The testimony is also part of a major lawsuit filed against the state by more than 100 survivors of the festival demanding more than $137 million in government support as many of the victims are unable to continue their normal lives.
The United Nations Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict completed a report earlier this year finding that “there are reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence occurred during the 7 October attacks in multiple locations across the Gaza periphery, including rape and gang rape, in at least three locations.”
The report also said that there was clear evidence that some of the more than 250 hostages kidnapped by Hamas were raped, and that those still in captivity are still facing such abuse.
