The Nahal Oz attack was an assault on the kibbutz of Nahal Oz and the adjacent military base near the northern Gaza Strip on the morning of 7 October 2023 as part of a 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. In the attack, more than 60 Israeli soldiers and more than a dozen kibbutz residents were killed.[13][14][15] Some soldiers and residents were kidnapped and taken to the Gaza Strip.[2][16] The IDF claims that several dead bodies were also taken to the Gaza Strip after being killed at the base or kibbutz.
