The lost history of Gaza's Jewish quarter
A look into the history of a neighborhood in Gaza City that was once home to a Jewish population
In the Gaza Strip's Jewish Quarter, old and dilapidated buildings have a jagged structure coated with silvery zinc plates. The 4,000 square meters (1 acre) in the Zaytoun District (Harat az-Zaytoun), southeast of Gaza City, holds its name for being inhabited until the late 1960s by a Palestinian Jewish family.
Today, the features of this neighborhood are no longer different from the rest of Gaza. They all share the same architectural and demographic character.
