The battle of Re'im (קרב רעים, معركة رعيم) took place on 7 October 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, initiating the 2023 Israel–Hamas 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. It was later reported that Hamas took control of the Re'im Army Base and had taken several Israeli soldiers captive. According to one report, all of the soldiers at the base were 'killed or captured'. The base was reportedly the location of IDF drone and surveillance operations. Hamas reportedly posted video of dead Israeli soldiers it had killed at the base. Later in the day, Israeli Defense Forces regained control of the military base.
