The Nahal Oz massacre was a massacre of Israeli citizens carried out by Palestinian Hamas terrorists at the southern Israeli town of Nahal Oz during the "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" surprise offensive of October 2023. Up to 50 Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades militants cut through the kibbutz's fences from Gaza to the south and proceeded to kill the guards at the gate and storm the Nahal settlement. The militants destroyed a large part of the guard post and massacred most of the soldiers there, and a battalion commander and several officers were killed when Hamas militants threw grenades into the war room. Meanwhile, 20 militants killed entire families of Israeli civilians and kidnapped over 20 of them.
