On October 7, Hamas attacked the kibbutz of Nir Oz, capturing one in five residents. The recent release of Israeli hostages, with as many still in captivity, brings new focus on Hamas' hostage strategy. Over 100 Palestinian militants stormed Nir Oz for hours and left with around 80 of its roughly 400 residents. This means people from Nir Oz made up a third of the 240 hostages taken in all and nearly half of the Israelis released, with 35 still in Gaza.
