Investigative Report: Following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks, rumors circulated that Israeli women experienced mass rape and sexual violence. Reports by Physicians for Human Rights Israel and the New York Times later convinced many the rumors were backed by evidence. But they weren’t.

Editor’s Note: This story is not typical of the solutions journalism YES! publishes. In light of the seriousness of the genocide in Gaza, and our belief in fact-based, impactful journalism, we are proud to present this investigation that other outlets were reluctant to publish.

Five other sources claimed they saw corpses that bore signs of rape or sexual violence, yet not one of these sources was professionally trained to make such assessments. So where does that leave the remaining two allegations? Read our full investigation:

To back the claims of mass rapes and sexual violence, hundreds of articles by major media outlets rely on a combination of just 12 sources. Eight appear in PHRI’s paper, and six in The New York Times report.

PHRI’s paper is riddled with errors and lacks original reporting, forensic evidence, survivor testimony, and video evidence. The report’s own co-author, Hadas Ziv, admitted many of its sources are dubious.
