Israel on Thursday released a video in which a captured Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist admitted to raping an Israeli woman on a kibbutz during the Oct. 7 terror attack, adding that he shot an Israeli man to death.
“I made her lie down and started undressing her…I raped her.”

The IDF explained the footage in a statement:
The Intelligence Directorate Unit 504 released an interrogation video of a terrorist from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization who admitted to raping an Israeli woman and killing civilians during the massacre.
Terrorist Manar Mahmoud Muhammad Qassem, a naval officer from the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, was arrested in early March by soldiers of the 504th Division, operating under the 98th Division in the Khan Yunis district. According to him, during his interrogation he detailed the atrocities he had committed, saying, “The devil took over me, I made her lie down, I started undressing her, and I told her what I had done.” I did it,” he said.
The footage of the interrogation is further proof that on October 7, the terrorist organization carried out an onslaught of murder and sexual violence in an effort to give voice to those who can no longer be heard.
In early March, a United Nations report found that Hamas and other terrorists committed rape and sexual violence against Israeli women and men during the October 7 attack, and that sexual violence was used against Israeli hostages. It was confirmed that there is a high possibility that this is continuing.
One of the freed hostages, Amit Susana, spoke out this week about sexual assault by guards while he was being held by Hamas in a private house in Gaza.
