No, rape is never justified, even in war. However, ugly acts of vengeance are inevitable when the oppressed find themselves with captive members of the oppressor class. They may be unarmed civilians, but they were partying within walking distance of the Gaza border so they were direct beneficiaries of the oppression.
It's a bit of a quandary as an American. I don't believe violence against me or my family is deserved despite benefiting from American oppression. Though I do understand why somebody would want to commit an act of violence against Americans, and might even call it justified depending on the situation.
