[Army reservist Shari Mendes] spoke Monday at a sidebar event at the United Nations in New York organized by Israel’s mission to the world body. “Hear Our Voices: Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the October 7 Hamas terror attack,” was held to highlight stories of Hamas rapes and gender mutilation during the attack, which have been largely swept under the rug by the international community, including the UN itself. …

At Monday’s event, Mandes said that many of the bodies of young females arrived at Shura “in bloody shredded rags or just in underwear—and their underwear was often very bloody.”

“Our team commander saw several female soldiers who were shot in the crotch—intimate parts/vagina—or shot in the breast. This seemed to be a systematic genital mutilation of a group of victims,” Mendes said.
