One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back.”
Sapir also claims another woman "was shredded into pieces." - While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast. "One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road."
