Twisted Hamas terrorists are sexually exploiting women in Gaza, bribing slain members’ desperate widows and young moms with food in exchange for sex, according to residents in the Palestinian enclave.
Harrowing interviews from the Gaza Strip reveal the scope of the rampant sexual abuse by the Iran-backed terrorists as they target vulnerable women trying to feed their families.
“It’s being done by all their employees and members, as though it’s an organization set up for sexual harassment, psychological abuse and harassing young women,” a woman told Jusoor News.
Women said the Hamas members are specifically targeting people who reached out to them in desperation, such as widows, recent divorcees and young or single mothers, promising them even simple things such as rice and sugar in exchange for sex.
“A guy will say, ‘Come, we have a relief package for you.’ He represents an Islamic organization, a movement whose name I won’t mention, but it is a political organization,” a woman told the outlet.
” ‘If you come with me and do so and so, I’ll give you so and so,’ ” Hamas members allegedly tell their victims.
“And the women, who have no life experience, end up getting exploited.”
A man who claimed to be with Hamas recalled how the wife of a friend reached out directly to his commander for help before she was taken advantaged of.
“His behavior is disgraceful,” the government employee told Jusoor. “We investigated the matter and found her in a tent in the Gharabli area where a bunch of Qassam members were taking advantage of her.
“We informed the leadership, but they told us we had to keep silent about it,” he said.
Another member of the terror group echoed the experience, saying he also was told to keep quiet after finding Hamas military members taking advantage of the wives of dead fighters in the Gharabli refugee camp.
“We told them it was an insult to honor and dignity,” the government staffer said. “We then tore down the tent, but all they wanted from us was to beat and shoot anyone who insults Hamas.”
The testimonies from Jusoor highlight similar incidents reported during the height of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza last year, where hundreds of thousands of people were at risk of hunger because of the war and aid blockade by Israel.
A 38-year-old mother of six had told The Associated Press how she was coerced into having sex with a man linked to an aid group in exchange for $30, a box of medicine and food and a promise for work that never materialized.
Humanitarian groups have warned of this outcome, which is all too common in conflict zones where there is little aid coming in.
May Golan, Israeli Minister For Social Equality & Women’s Advancement, called for scrutiny of the aid groups operating in Gaza whose members are accused of targeting women.
“One expects little from vile murderers whose only contribution to humanity is a perverse ingenuity in committing violent sexual crimes,” she told The Post of Hamas before turning to the aid groups.
“Expectations do, however, exist for aid organizations that adorn themselves with the language of human rights while in practice doing more than anyone else to sustain the forces of darkness.
“They will not awaken on their own. Their naive donors should make clear to them the standard expected of human beings,” shesaid.
The situation in Gaza underscores the sexual-assault allegations against Hamas by Israeli victims who were kidnapped during the war.
