The Holit massacre was perpetrated by Hamas militants on 7 October 2023 in kibbutz Holit, as part of the surprise attack on Israel. The attack took the lives of at least 11 kibbutz members and two migrant workers. Among the casualties were at least two American citizens. A women's tank platoon of the Caracal Battalion was crucial for recapturing the kibbutz.
