Original Note:
Contrary to a common misconception, physical evidence is not necessarily required, in order to prove sexual assault. https://www.kruselaw.ca/blog/sexual-assault/can-sexual-assault-be-proven-without-physical-evidence/#:~:text=Can%20Sexual%20Assault%20Be%20Proven%20with%20No%20Physical%20Evidence%3F https://www.campussafetymagazine.com/university/how-to-disprove-or-prove-sexual-assault-without-physical-evidence/ And there is an abundance of independently verified non-physical evidence that Hamas used sexual violence during its attack on Israel on October 7. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world/middleeast/oct-7-attacks-hamas-israel-sexual-violence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KE0.WFmY.Seh2WxwiARQG&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
