The Ein HaShlosha Massacre is a massacre perpetrated by Hamas militants on 7 October 2023 in the kibbutz Ein HaShlosha in southern Israel, as part of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. The Hamas militants looted and burned many of the kibbutz civilian houses, in addition to taking hostages and killing four of its residents, according to one account as they were attempting to defend the community.[1]

Statistics about the extent of the massacre are largely unknown, although four civilian kibbutz members were killed by the Hamas militants while defending the kibbutz.[1] An 80-year-old Argentinian woman perished after her home was set on fire and she was unable to escape.[2] A standoff between the attackers and the residents' security team lasted six hours.[3] The leader of the security team, who was in his sixties, was killed in the firefight.[3] A 63-year-old grandmother was also among those killed in the attack.[4]

Thirty survivors were discovered in the kibbutz three days after the massacre,[5] fourteen of whom were Thai nationals.[6]
