There has, to my knowledge, not been a single first-hand account of a woman saying “I was raped by Hamas”. All of it is based on anonymous eye witnesses, dead bodies Israel assures us were raped, or doctors speaking on behalf of returned hostages they refuse to name and have yet to come forward.
For as much rape as supposedly went on it sure is strange that there aren’t at least a few victims speaking of their experiences, if only just to confirm it happened. I’m happy to believe women when there are women to believe.

No sudden influx of women into Israeli rape crisis centers, either. No hospitals on record with a surge of sexual assault victims. It appears to be an entirely fabricated claim, intended to deflect the more embarrassing nature of the incident (Palestinian rebels overwhelming a poorly administered IDF checkpoint) by re-contextualizing a kind of massive prison break as a Clockwork Orange orgy of ultra-violence.

Well, unless they’re Palestinian women, in which case they can’t be trusted because they are Hamas.
