Agam Goldstein Almog who was freed from Hamas captivity: "Many girls experienced severe sexual abuse"/Family Headquarters
New evidence about sexual crimes committed by Hamas in kidnappings in Gaza was revealed in an interview yesterday (Monday) with the CNN network, in which the Jewish-American billionaire Sheryl Sandberg was interviewed, who talked about her film dealing with this issue.
The testimony she revealed is that of the 18-year-old abductee Agam Goldstein-Almog, who was released after 51 days in captivity.
According to the same testimony, the terrorist entered the shower while the captive was taking a shower, and began performing indecent acts on her while pointing a gun at her head.
"She told me she just didn't stop crying, and he didn't stop doing what he was doing to her. And he enjoyed it."
Sandberg tearfully recounted her conversation with Goldstein-Almog, who was abducted from her home in the Gaza Strip and held in Gaza until her release as part of a hostage deal.
She told about Agam, who had to watch the murder of her father and sister in front of her eyes and her flashbacks to the sexual crimes committed by Hamas against other women she met in captivity and witnessed.
Sandberg noted Agam's strength and said: "We should all be afraid of such cases, which must not be repeated. It is impossible that an 18-year-old girl anywhere in the world will be forced to see and hear and go through such horrors."
"It is impossible for a girl to be forced to go through such horrors."

In the interview, Sandberg condemned the Hamas spokesman who denied in the world media the acts of sexual violence on the grounds that they are against the religion of Islam.
"Not only did these atrocities occur. The sexual crimes occurred systematically," she said.
The filming of her movie, Screams Before Silence, was completed last week in Israel.
The film includes interviews with eyewitnesses, freed abductees, ZAKA and police officers, medical and forensic experts, and survivors of the Hamas massacre. The film is shot in the communities surrounding Gaza and Barai, where the Nova party took place. When asked why she
decided to direct the film, Sandberg replied: "When the testimonies began To emerge after October 7, the silence was deafening, although it was clear that acts of rape and sexual violence had been committed.
We must not allow the silencing and cover-up of such acts ever and anywhere in the world.
People denied and refused to admit that such acts were indeed committed by Hamas, so the film will give them an opportunity to see with their own eyes, and hear with their own ears testimonies from survivors about the horrors that took place and how the victims suffered in the last minutes of their lives."
She added: "We have to look at things directly."
