“They kidnapped dozens more, taking them as hostages to Gaza, where they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and starved.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that Hamas kidnapped dozens of people from the Nova festival and took them to Gaza, where they were tortured, sexually assaulted, and starved, is partially supported by the context of the October 7th attacks in the web search results (mentioning hostages taken). However, the specific details regarding torture, sexual assault, and starvation are not corroborated by multiple independent sources provided, making the full claim difficult to verify beyond the initial abduction context.
