UK Parliament: 73% of October 7 Victims Were Civilians

A comprehensive UK Parliamentary investigation documented that 73% of those murdered on October 7, 2023 were civilians — including women, children, elderly, and foreign nationals. The parliamentary report drew on verified Israeli government data, forensic evidence, and survivor testimony. The investigation also addressed Hamas's use of sexual violence, noting multiple witness accounts and forensic evidence supporting the UN Special Representative's findings of 'reasonable grounds' to believe widespread sexual violence occurred. The UK report called October 7 'one of the worst terrorist attacks in the 21st century' and called for continued accountability for Hamas perpetrators.
