'''Be'eri''' () is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located in the north-western Negev desert near the eastern border with the Gaza Strip, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In it had a population of .
A total of 101 Israeli civilians and 31 security personnel were killed and 32 hostages were taken from the kibbutz during the Be'eri massacre led by Hamas in the October 7 attacks. Around one in ten residents of the kibbutz were killed in the attack. ==History== Kibbutz Be'eri was established on 6 October 1946 as one of the 11 points in the Negev. It was located near Wadi Nahabir, a few kilometres south of Be'erot Yitzhak. Its founders were members of the HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed movement, who had been preparing in Maoz Haim, as well as some Hebrew scouts and a group of Iraqi Jews who had survived the Farhud and trekked across the desert to Mandatory Palestine in 1947. It was named after Berl Katznelson, as Be'eri (Beeri) (a biblical name) was his pen name.
