Psyduck was a small trance music festival that took place in the open fields between Kibbutz Nir Oz and Kibbutz Nirim, about 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from the border of Gaza. The rave hosted about 100 participants. On 7 October 2023 morning, as part of the surprise attack on Israel, the Qassam Brigades (the militant wing of the Hamas party) attacked the Psyduck festival, killing 17 Israeli partygoers.
