History
The kibbutz was established in 1978 as a Nahal settlement near Yamit, in the Sinai Peninsula. However, as a result of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979, Israel was required to evacuate all its settlements in the peninsula.
In 1982, the kibbutz was re-established in its current location.
The Holit massacre was perpetrated by Hamas militants on 7 October 2023 in kibbutz Holit, as part of the surprise attack on Israel. The attack took the lives of at least 11 kibbutz members and two migrant workers.[2] Among the casualties were at least two American citizens.[3] A women's tank platoon of the Caracal Battalion was crucial for recapturing the kibbutz.[4]
Economy
Holit's economy is based on agriculture and industry, with three main sources of income: the cattle farm, factory, and crop production. The factory produces juicers, about 50 a week.[dubious ] Oranges, lemons, potatoes, mangos, nuts and carrots are all grown in the fields and orchards.
