The Holit massacre was a massacre perpetrated by Hamas militants on 7 October 2023 in the kibbutz Holit in the Negev district of southern Israel, as part of the surprise attack on Israel. The attack took the lives of at least 11 kibbutz members and two migrant workers.[1] Among the casualties were at least two American citizens.[2]
Background
The kibbutz was established in 1977 in the Sinai and was transferred to the Negev as part of the 1982 Egypt–Israel peace treaty. The kibbutz had 84 members before the 2023 massacre.
Massacre
In the early morning of October 7th 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, firing thousands of rockets. During this time, more than 1,500 Hamas militants crossed the border into Israel and launched attacks on Israeli towns and military bases.[3] Residents of the kibbutz say the attack on Holit started at around 8AM. Hamas militants moved from house to house, killing at least 11 civilians and injuring many more.
On October 11th, four days after the attack, Hamas released a video alleging to show kibbutz member Avital Aladjem freed that very day by Hamas at Gaza's border along with her neighbor's two small children. Aladjem contradicted this claim and described how on the day of the attack itself, the abductors left them unsupervised inside Gaza, and how she managed to walk back to Holit, taking the two children with her. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) called the footage broadcast by Al Jazeera, who adopted the Hamas narrative, "propaganda" aimed at deflecting public scrutiny from the atrocities committed by the group.[4]
