We report on XMM-Newton observations of the Galactic supernova remnant G296.7–0.9. A detailed spectro-imaging X-ray study of G296.7–0.9 was performed. We detected an incomplete shell-like X-ray structure which is located near the boundary of the radio emission at a frequency of 843 MHz. The X-ray spectrum can be best described by an absorbed ionization plasma model accompanied with metallic emission lines, which suggests the plasma is shock heated. No promising compact stellar remnant associated with G296.7–0.9 was found. No Gamma-ray emission of G296.7–0.9 from Fermi-LAT telescope was detected in our study.
