Nahal Oz

Nahal Oz is a kibbutz in southern Israel near the Gaza border. Founded in 1951, the community was hit hard by the October 7 massacre, with residents killed, wounded, and taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. The town had to be evacuated following the attack. 

The name Nahal Oz also refers to a nearby IDF base of the same name.
