An Israeli survivor of the horrific Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7 is speaking out about the barbaric gang rape and murder of a young woman “with the face of an angel.”
Yoni Saadon, 39, a shift manager in a foundry who has four children, was hiding under the stage at the Supernova music festival when Hamas attacked. He said a young woman hiding next to him was shot in the head and fell to the ground next to him.
“I pulled her body over me and smeared her blood on me so it would look as if I was dead too,” he told The Times. “I will never forget her face. Every night I wake to it and apologize to her, saying ‘I’m sorry.’”
After an hour, he looked out. “I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or ten of the fighters beating and raping her,” he recalled. “She was screaming, ‘Stop it — already I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!’ When they finished they were laughing and the last one shot her in the head.”
“I kept thinking it could have been one of my daughters,” he continued. “Or my sister — I had bought her a ticket but last minute she couldn’t come.”
Later, hiding in some bushes, he saw further horrors as two more Hamas terrorists attacked another young woman. “They had caught a young woman near a car and she was fighting back, not allowing them to strip her,” he said. “They threw her to the ground and one of the terrorists took a shovel and beheaded her and her head rolled along the ground. I see that head too.”
The mass rape of Israeli women by the Hamas terrorists is being investigated by Israeli police. “It’s clear now that sexual crimes were part of the planning and the purpose was to terrify and humiliate people,” lead investigator Shelly Harush stated, adding that the statements, photographs and videos of the horrors inflicted by Hamas included “girls whose pelvises were broken they had been raped so much.”
Haim Outmezgine, commander of a special unit of Zaka, which gatyhers the remains of the dead after massacres and terrorist attacks, said, “We collected 1,000 bodies in ten days from the festival site and kibbutzim. No one saw more than us.”
“It was clear they were trying to spread as much horror as they could — to kill, to burn alive, to rape,” Outmezgine added. “It seemed their mission was to rape as many as possible.”
He said Zaka found two girls’ bodies who had both been shot in the head, one who was shot in the vagina. He said every member of his team is going through therapy after witnessing evidence of the carnage.
One of the volunteers preparing the female corpses for burial said, “Opening the body bags was scary as we didn’t know what we would see. They were all young women. Most in little clothing or shredded clothing and their bodies bloodied particularly round their underwear and some women shot many times in the face as if to mutilate them. Their faces were in anguish and often their fingers clenched as they died. We saw women whose pelvises were broken. Legs broken. There were women who had been shot in the crotch, in the breasts … there seems no doubt what happened to them.”
The Times acknowledged that Israel Defense Forces “showed The Sunday Times photographs and footage not previously seen and too graphic to publish.” The Times also wrote, “Some festival survivors have reportedly taken their own lives and others are being treated in mental institutions.”
Video of a Hamas terrorist captured by Israel showed him admitting that the Hamas terrorists who committed brutal atrocities against Israel in their attack kidnapped women in order to rape them.
The video shows the terrorist, who appears unharmed, being questioned by Israeli investigators.
“What did they want to do with them?” the questioner asked.
“To have their way with them,” the terrorist answered.
“What does that mean, ‘Have your way with them?” the questioner pressed. “Talk!”
“I don’t want to talk,” the terrorist replied.
“Talk,” the questioner 0rdered. “What did they want to do with them?”
“Dirty them. To rape them,” the terrorist admitted.
