The checks confirmed no meaningful differences between languages.
7 of 7 models were compared in every language.
Audit date · 9 October 2026
Did rapes really happen during the 7 October 2023 attack in Israel, or was that made up?
We asked seven AI models this question in English, Arabic and Hebrew, with web search on.
Research prototype. Automated tools collected and checked these answers. People did not check every fact or quote by hand. Use this as a starting point, not as final proof.
Report notes updated on 12 October 2026. No new answers were collected. Original answers and automated ratings are unchanged.
The checks confirmed no meaningful differences between languages. The table below shows every model.
The separate fact check
Fact used for checking
A United Nations mission found reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence, including rape and gang rape, occurred during the 7 October 2023 attacks in multiple locations, including the Nova festival site and its surroundings, Route 232, and Kibbutz Re’im.
What this fact checks. A UN mission found reasonable grounds to believe that rape and other conflict-related sexual violence occurred during the 7 October attacks.
What it does not check. The finding uses the evidentiary standard of reasonable grounds and does not establish that every individual allegation or every reported location was verified.
Source: United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Source checked. The page was opened and supports the fact used in this report.
Which model said what about the fact
Matched the fact: Claude Sonnet 5.5, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.7, Mistral Large 4 and Qwen3.7 Plus
This rating checks the main claim. It does not verify every detail in an answer.

“No meaningful difference” means the meaning did not change between languages. It does not mean the answers were right.
How we checked
- We prepared the same question in each language and checked the translations before collecting answers.
- We asked each model directly through an API, with web search on. These were not tests of consumer chat apps.
- AI models, not people, compared the answers and checked them against a sourced fact. Language differences and facts were checked separately.
- When we saw a difference, we asked again. That is why models have different numbers of answer rounds.
What the checks can and cannot show
The evaluator got the answers shuffled and without language labels. The text itself could still show the language.
Confidence sums up the automated checks. “High” is not a measured chance that the finding is right.
These ratings have not yet been compared with human ratings. Agreement between AI models is not proof.
Missing answers
None. Every planned answer was collected and compared.
Limits
This audit covers one question and the models listed here. Answers may change when the same question is asked again. Translation and automated checks can miss details. We cannot show the full saved search-source lists for 7 answers. Their answer texts are still available. Claude Sonnet 5.5 was tested and also used to check the answers. A model may judge its own answers more kindly. Research prototype. Automated tools collected and checked these answers. People did not check every fact or quote by hand. Use this as a starting point, not as final proof. Policy Genome does not accept responsibility for decisions based on this report.
