List of massacres during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war
This is a list of massacres that occurred during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.
Background
Roughly 2,500 Hamas militants launched coordinated attacks on Israeli outposts and settlements on 7 October 2023, burning houses, killing hundreds of civilians, and kidnapping hundreds more to Gaza. Hamas launched over 5,000 rockets on the same day.[1] Israel responded by declaring a state of war.[2]
While the total casualties remains uncertain, at least 600 civilians were murdered in those initial attacks, and at least 200 civilians were abducted into Gaza strip.[3][4][5][6] Other civilians were kidnapped for a time but rescued through counterattacks. By the end of the first days of the attack, roughly 1,300 people had been killed in Israel — mostly Israeli civilians but including over 75 foreign nationals.[7] This was the bloodiest massacre in Israel's history.[8]
Israel responded with targeted airstrikes.[citation needed]
