(Released hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog speaks in a documentary about sexual abuse perpetrated by Hamas

Released hostage Agam Goldstein-Almog described a harrowing case of sexual violence suffered by another hostage in Hamas captivity in a clip released Tuesday from an in-production documentary fronted by former Meta COO Sheryl Sandberg. Goldstein-Almog, 17, said she was sitting with the hostage one evening while they were still in Gaza and had asked her what she had been through.“She started crying, and I cried with her,” she said.

Goldstein-Almog recounted the girl’s story of her last night with a guard before she was moved to another location. Even though the hostages had been told that none were being held alone, the girl said it was just her and the guard for a time.The night before she was moved, the guard told the girl to get herself cleaned up and while she was washing herself in the sink, he came up behind her and held a gun to her head.“He started kissing her, and she started crying,” Goldstein-Almog described. “Then he took off all her clothes and touched her all over her body.”

She continued, describing how the guard assaulted the girl for half an hour while continuing to hold the gun to her head and she did not stop crying the whole time.

“I asked her, ‘Did you do what he told you?’ and she said, ‘Of course. I didn’t have the option not to,'” Goldstein-Almog recounted.

“The next day they moved her to a different location and she never saw him again and he told her never to tell anyone.”

Goldstein-Almog told Sandberg that most of the hostages she had spoken to recounted similar stories of sexual or physical abuse at the hands of Hamas.

The former hostage’s testimony was released as a preview for the documentary, titled “Screams Before Silence,” which will be released in April and include testimonies from survivors, released hostages and first responders.

The aim of the film is to highlight the sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas terrorists during the organization’s devastating attack on southern Israel, in which it killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 253, triggering an ongoing war.
