Kibbutz Reim is located in the south of the country, close to the Gaza Strip. The kibbutz is currently evacuated.
On Saturday, October 7, 2023, at the beginning of the surprise attack on Israel, more than a hundred well-armed terrorists infiltrated Kibbutz Reim. In the first hours, the kibbutz was protected by its standby squad, which had six members. Near the kibbutz, a mass massacre was carried out at the Nova party, in which at least 364 people were murdered.
Initially, the kibbutz was called “Tel Reim” (Tel – Hill, Reim – Friends) after the nearby hill called in Arabic, “Tel al-Jama” (the hill of the friends). The common story is that the hill remained in the Negev and the “Jama” (friends) left for another hill – Tel Aviv.
The kibbutz owns the Isralaser company, which was the first laser company in Israel to buy an advanced laser machine for the purpose of cutting metals, most of which is intended for the defense industry. The plant itself is protected not only by a battery of tanks placed right in front of it, but also, apparently, by a force majeure – one of the first works of the Isralaser plant was to create bottles filled with water from the Holy Land for Christians.
