Not this claim in particular, but existing claims of rape allegations have been debunked:

Meanwhile, Josh Paul, a former US State Department official, detailed how a 13 year old kid was raped in an Israeli prison and “The State Department's inquiry into the case resulted in Israeli officials shutting down the charity involved in bringing the case to light.”

There are Hamas rape videos, you can easily find them using a simple reddit search. Please stop spreading propaganda.
These have not independently confirmed. There is a history of passing by israel of Mexican cartel videos and photos of military women perished in other Middle Eastern conflicts as atrocities commited by Hamas .
I am not saying that Hamas did not (or did) commit the crimes on videos, it just the source is so reliably untrustworthy, so the videos cannot be taken seriously.
So what I shared, a well thought out article by Johnathan Cook and others, is propaganda but you telling me to watch unverified, often debunked videos that are actually from cartels or ISIS, isn’t propaganda? What’s next, should I search 4chan?
Are you talking about the Netanyahu quote at the end of the article only?
Otherwise there isn't a direct rape claim in there, but a witnessed missed period which they say could be due to rape or the witness also says it could be due to the harsh conditions (malnutrition is a real cause of it in some cases; Washington Post has reported on worries of refeeding syndrome in some of the released hostages so some were severely malnurished). I found an article with longer excerpts of the testimony and the dolls on a string quote was about inappropriate clothing provided and claims of abuse but the testimony excerpts there also didn't directly allege rape. Is the full transcript of the hearing out there somewhere?
