Original Note:
The term "sabaya" (سبايا) means female captive and as Reuters confirmed is used by Hamas in other footage of October 7 to refer to female captives without implication of sexual violence/rape. Moreover the subtitle translates it as "women who can get pregnant", not "sex slave". https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/video-captured-woman-mistranslates-captor-threatening-rape-2023-11-08/
