This incident occurred concurrently with a series of other civilian and military engagements in multiple Israeli communities near the [[Gaza Strip]].

==Background==
[[Kibbutz]] Be'eri is a veteran-established kibbutz located in the Gaza periphery since 1946. The kibbutz had around 250 members before the attack.

==Attack==
On the morning of October 7, 2023 at 6:30 AM, militants began firing rockets at the kibbutz. Around 70 militants entered the kibbutz on motorcycles and vehicles, killed the security personnel at the entrance and started going from house to house, shooting the residents dead. Many kibbutz residents tried to hide in safe rooms but the militants blew up the safe room doors and killed those inside.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jewishpress.com/news/eye-on-palestine/hamas/70-terrorists-infiltrated-kibbutz-beeri-overnight-idf-repelling-7-new-penetrations/2023/10/09/|title=70 Terrorists Infiltrated Kibbutz Be’eri Overnight, IDF Repelling 7 New Penetrations|first=David|last=Israel|date=October 9, 2023|website=Jewish Press}}</ref>
