The European Union put the Al-Quds Brigades, the Nuhba Force and the Az-Din Al- Qassam Brigades on the list of sanctions following the sexual violence on October 7. As part of the sanctions, the EU countries will freeze the assets of the organizations and a movement ban will be imposed on their members.
Transfer of funds to these organizations will be prohibited. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are already classified by the Union as terrorist organizations. It should be noted that the descriptions detailed in the report are very difficult to read. Hamas terrorists carried out a hunting trip after young women and men who ran away from the party, and according to testimonies, they were dragged by the hair, while screaming. The acts were aimed at women, girls and men alike. In most cases, the victims were murdered after and even during the rape. Many acts of rape were carried out in a group manner, with cooperation between the abusing terrorists. Often, the rape was carriedout in front of an audience - spouses, family or friends - in a manner designed to increase the pain.
