UN obtains “clear and convincing information” of sexual violence against hostages in Gaza. Israel accuses António Guterres of “trying to silence” the findings.

Palestinian militias captured more than 240 people in the Oct. 7 attack and handed over about half in a November swap. The main scene of the sexual violence was apparently the Nova festival, where hundreds of young people were still dancing when they heard the first rockets and which ended up turning into a massacre.
