Muqawama: We are not Rapists of Women and Children like you

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) Thursday (23/5/2024) stated in its statement that the video released by Zionist media regarding Israeli female prisoners was fake and manipulated.

Hamas in its statement reminded:

"The current release of such videos is in line with the occupation regime's failed efforts to discredit the valiant resistance of the Palestinian people by spreading a false narrative, the falsity of which has been repeatedly proven through media research with evidence."

Hamas added that the scene showed images of female soldiers at the military base who were arrested while carrying out their activities at the Gaza Brigade Command and were wearing civilian clothes because they were resting, especially since the attack took place on Saturday, October 7 morning, which was their holiday.

The Muqawama camp also emphasized that a number of video scenes were cut deliberately, and the images and parts were chosen so as to strengthen the claims of the colonial regime and their lies regarding the rape of female soldiers.

According to Hamas, the video shows deliberate distortion and manipulation in the English translation and the use of fictitious words not spoken by one of the resistance fighters featured in the video, both in Arabic and English. Distortions and manipulations of false translations attest to the Zionist narrative of its origins .

According to Al-Mayadeen, Hamas announced that slight bloodstains or minor injuries on some of the female soldiers were expected during the operation, and the scene did not show physical violence against any of them, but showed a conversation between soldiers and female soldiers without any violence .

Hamas emphasized that female soldiers are treated in accordance with Muqawama's moral principles and there is no evidence of contempt in the treatment of female soldiers in this unit, despite the fact that they were the cause of the killing of hundreds of protesters in peaceful demonstrations on the Gaza border.

At the end of this statement it is emphasized that all the images and scenes published in the recent prisoner exchange operations show the good treatment of them by the resistance forces in Gaza, in contrast to the torture and murder carried out against muqawama male and female prisoners in the prisons of the occupying regime .

According to this report, Israeli media published a video of five female soldiers in the Zionist army and claimed that they were detained and abused during the Al-Aqsa Storm operation on October 7 .

An American media outlet also acknowledged on Wednesday that claims of “sexual harassment” by Hamas fighters against Zionists on October 7 were false.

The Associated Press reported in this regard that what Haim Otmazgin reported regarding sexual violence in the October 7 attack and which received widespread responses throughout the world was proven to have never happened. (MF)
