Amit Soussana: Israeli woman held hostage by Hamas shares her Sexual Assault Ordeal

 

On October 7, Israeli lawyer Amit Soussana was kidnapped from his home by at least 10 people, some of whom were soldiers, beaten and dragged to Gaza. He said that a few days after he was taken into captivity, guards began questioning him about his sex life.

Miss Susanna said her child was alone in his bedroom and his left ankle was sprained. She said sometimes guards would come and sit next to the bed, take his shirt and touch him.

She asked many times when her period would end. She recalled that when her period ended on October 18, she pretended to bleed for about a week in an attempt to delay her arrival.

He said that around October 24, a guard who identified himself as Muhammad attacked him.

She said that in the morning Muhammad freed her from her chains and left her in the bathroom. After taking off his clothes and starting to wash in the bathtub, Muhammad came back and stood in front of the door with a gun in his hand.

"He came up to me and put a gun to my forehead," said Ms. Susana returned from an eight-hour interview with the New York Times in mid-March. She said Mohamed punched Ms Sushana and forced her to remove her towel, then grabbed her body, made her sit on the edge of the bathtub and hit her again.

He remembers dragging her back at gunpoint to the nursery, which was decorated with pictures of the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon.

"Then he pointed a gun at me and forced me to have sex with him," said Ms. said Susanna.

Miss Susanna, 40, became the first Israeli to speak publicly about sexual violence in captivity since Hamas took control of southern Israel. In a mostly English-language interview with The Times, she detailed the sexual and other violence she suffered during the 55-day ordeal.

Ms. Susana's personal account of her experiences in captivity is similar to what she told both the doctor and the social worker 24 hours after her release on 30 November. His reports on his account emphasized the nature of the relationship; Time's deal doesn't disclose specific details.

Ms. Susana described being arrested in approximately six locations, including private homes, offices and underground tunnels. Later, while he was in prison, a group of attackers hung him from the gap between two chairs and beat him, she said.

For months, Hamas and its supporters have denied that its members harmed those arrested or during the October 7 protests. A UN report published this month said there was "clear and convincing evidence" that some victims had been sexually abused, and while an analysis of the problem there confirmed there was a "reasonable" belief that same sex was occurring when an attack occurred. “challenges and constraints.” question.
