The Netiv HaAsara massacre occurred during the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. Thirty-five Hamas militants, some via paragliders and most via car, attacked Netiv HaAsara, an Israeli moshav close to the border fence. The militants killed at least 20 people, including in some cases members of the same family. Before the massacre, the moshav was home to approximately 900 residents.[2]
Background
Netiv HaAsara, a moshav founded in 1982, is home to a population of 900. Following the Israeli disengagement from Gaza in 2005, Netiv HaAsara became the closest Israeli community to the Gaza Strip, situated 100 meters from the Palestinian towns of Beit Lahia and Beit Hanon. Residents in Netiv HaAsara have claimed to have witnessed Hamas militants training.[3]
On 25 August 2007, Palestinian militants from the Popular Resistance Committees and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine attempted to enter Netiv HaAsara from Gaza. The militants used a ladder to scale the Israel-Gaza border, and two militants were killed by the Israel Defense Forces.[4]
Attack
As part of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel on the morning of 7 October, 35 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Netiv HaAsara, 6 on motorized paragliders and the rest in cars through the breached Israel-Gaza barrier.[3] At the time of the invasion, many residents had fled to their homes' safe rooms after the initial rocket barrage at 6 am local time. For the first two hours of the invasion, residents did not know that Hamas militants had entered Israeli territory due to the unavailability of power or internet access.[1] Hamas militants went from house to house, killing 20+ people and injuring many more. Some victims were from the same family. The village's rapid response team battled the attackers, and three were killed in the fighting.[5] At some point, electricity in the village went out, leaving people trapped in safe rooms without power.[6]
After six hours of the residents fighting with the invading Hamas gunmen, the Israel Defense Forces arrived in the moshav.[3]
