Amnesty International’s interim Q&A report, released on December 2nd, marks an important development in the systematic documentation and investigation of Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

The investigation analyzed over 350 videos and images, along with extensive interviews with survivors, witnesses, and forensic consultations.

The report notably documents the first direct testimony from a Nova festival rape survivor and includes evidence of sexual violence against hostages, supported by interviews with mental health professionals and legal experts.

This documentation represents a crucial step in establishing accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity, with a complete report expected in early 2025, as the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict continues her investigative mission.
