Documents accessed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have shown that Hamas tortured and executed their own members who allegedly were involved in gay sex, as per a report by the New York Post.
The document exclusively accessed by the IDF alleged that Hamas had a list of the recruits who breached Hamas’ 'morality checks' by having same-sex relations.
Quoting a source close to Isreali Knesset, New York Post also alleged that Hamas "raped a few male Israelis in during the October 7 offensive and also those held captive''.
What All Did The Document Say?
As per the documents accessed by New York Post, the "crimes" of getting involved into “homosexual conversations” “flirting with girls without a legal relationship” and “sodomy” with serious allegations of child rape and torture were allegedly committed by 94 recruits of Hamas' intelligence, military and interior ministry.
Besides allegedly raping Israelis during the October 7 offensive, the other allegations are dated between 2012 and 2019. It has been reported that the listed recruits were eventually deemed "unacceptable" to continue working with the group owing to their actions.
“Committing the crime of sodomy in a hideous manner while he is married to two women. This is more heinous than adultery and it has been described as an obscenity in the Qur’an more than once. Sodomy receives its punishment at the very least, which is stoning to death”, religious leaders wrote in the Hamas documents, as per New York Post.

Israeli Men Raped By Hamas: Report
Quoting a source close to the Israeli Knesset, New York Post reported that multiple instances have surfaced where male Hamas fighters "horrifically raped Israeli men during the attacks of October 7.''
“That is deeply against their religion. This would bring [Hamas] much shame,” the source told the New York Post.
Israel activists such as One Israel Fund director of education Eve Harow told the New York Post that the violence from Hamas against their own ranks proves their inhumanity knows no bounds.
“Even within their own society, those who do not conform to Hamas’ extremist ideology — whether women, journalists, activists or minority groups — face persecution, imprisonment or even execution,” she said.
