On 7 October 2023, as part of the surprise attack on Israel, Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip, led by Hamas, invaded the Nir Oz kibbutz in southern Israel. They killed scores of kibbutz residents, burned homes, and abducted civilians. [5] According to the Israeli military, up to 150 militants participated in the massacre. [6]
Per The New York Times, it was thought that 180 of the roughly 400 residents were killed or abducted as hostages during the attack.[7] The Jerusalem Post also estimated 80 abductions in Nir Oz.[8] An account by veteran war correspondent Itai Anghel reported that "around a quarter of the people of Nir Oz were assassinated, kidnapped, or injured in a very severe way. Those who survived have no place to come back to."[9]
