      Israeli investigators say

      There was a very quick narrative formed around the supposed rape of children which shifted the Overton window significantly for even moderates in Israel.

      An investigation isn’t evidence of it. Both links are paywalled by the way.

        I assume you mean the Times articles (there are 5 links in that post). Edited to add archive links to those two articles.

        An investigation isn’t evidence of it.

        From the large investigation article:

        A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.

        Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

        Photos, videos, GPS data, witnesses, and expert testimony are evidence.
