The battle of Re'im (Hebrew: קרב רעים; Arabic: معركة رعيم) took place on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, initiating the Gaza war. At 10:00 am, less than five hours after Hamas attacked, fighting was reported outside of the Re'im Army Base, which is headquarters for the Gaza Division.

The base was reportedly the location of IDF drone and surveillance operations. Hamas reportedly posted a video of dead Israeli soldiers it had killed at the base. Later in the day, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) regained control of the military base.
