On 7 October 2023, the Hamas Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Al-Qassam Brigades) attacked Holit, a kibbutz close to the border fence with the Gaza Strip, as part of a surprise attack on Israel.
Sixteen people were killed in the attack, including three foreign workers as well as three members of the security forces. About 20 of the attacking militants were also killed.
Nine hostages were taken during the attack. Three were released on the day of the attack after entering Gaza and made it back to Israel that same day. An additional two were released during the Israeli–Palestinian prisoner exchange. The bodies of two others were recovered on 8 January 2025.
