Screams Without Words

In December 2023, a New York Times investigation titled " 'Screams Without Words': How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7" described rape and sexual violence during the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, referring to such violence as having been "weaponized" by Hamas.[1]

The editorial process behind the article was criticized, with concerns raised including the use of inexperienced reporters, an overreliance on witness testimony, weak corroboration, and a lack of supporting forensic evidence.[2][3][4] The Times stood by its story, saying that it was "rigorously reported, sourced and edited."[5]
