• What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):

  −

  The Hebrew name of the city is ʿAzza (עַזָּה) – the ayin at the beginning of the word represented a voiced velar fricative in Biblical Hebrew, but in Modern Hebrew, it is silent.

The request asks to clarify the status of Palestine as a territory since there is no “state” of Palestine. The UN has not recognized Palestine as a state, notably due to its connection with Hamas and terrorism. For accuracy, you need to change “State of Palestine” at the end of the sentence to “Palestinian territory.” You might add at the end: “though statehood has been offered five times since 1947, the plans have been rejected each time by Palestinian leaders.” ProResearcherCite (talk) 02:07, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Image in infobox

Hi all, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on updating the image for the infobox? I fear the current one doesn't accurately reflect what Gaza City looks like today. Per WSJ: According to analysis of satellite data by remote-sensing experts at the City University of New York and Oregon State University, as many as 80% of the buildings in northern Gaza, where the bombing has been most severe, are damaged or destroyed Maybe the lead image should look something more like this:

Thoughts? CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 17:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Maybe could have a split image where the left half is before the war and the right half is after the way. That way people don't think it has always looked like rubble. Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 18:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, that's a good idea. CarmenEsparzaAmoux (talk) 18:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Can you find an image of what Rimal looked like before the war? I think the best idea would be to replace the image of Downtown Gaza from 2007 with an image of the same location before it was destroyed. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 18:37, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Ancient Egyptian Name

The article currently states:

According to Shahin, the Ancient Egyptians called it gḏt, "Ghazzat" ("prized city")...

(originally added in this edit in 2009.)

As far as I understand, Mariam Shahin is not an academic researcher (she is a filmmaker and a journalist, without a Wikipedia article about her); neither ancient Egypt or etymology are her areas of expertise, and the book "Palestine: A Guide" is not an academic research. I don't think this is a reliable source on the subject. 2A0D:6FC2:6C71:6C00:749F:EA20:5036:E5E7 (talk) 20:19, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Twinned with Tel Aviv

I have been unable to verify citation 187, and in general the fact that Gaza City and Tel Aviv are sister cities. Furthermore, this was added to the article during the 2008-2009 Palestine-Israel conflict. The only thing that makes me trust that it was added in good faith is that it was added by a well-respected editor of Palestinian ancestry (Al Ameer son). GiggyMantis (talk) 22:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Not sure what "unable to verify" means, do you have a source that contradicts the Haaretz source? Or some actual evidence that the Haaretz source is in error. Selfstudier (talk) 09:07, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Fixed broken refs in Bibliography

I fixed the broken cite refs. Two were listed templated as journals and, but appear to be books, so I switched them over to cite book. Also added the ISBNs. The third I am not sure what it is and google is not very helpful. I put it as book, but I was also thinking document. However, in the end, I cant find anywhere it is even cited in the article, so perhaps it should be removed? or it could be used to add information somewhere.

With a population of 590,481 people as of 2017, Gaza City was the most populous city in [[Palestine]] until the [[Gaza war]] caused most of the population to be displaced. Inhabited since at least the 15th century BC, Gaza City has been dominated by different peoples and empires throughout its history. The [[Philistines]] made it a part of their [[Philistia|pentapolis]] after the [[ancient Egypt]]ians had ruled it for nearly 350 years. Under the [[Roman Empire]], Gaza City experienced relative peace and its [[Port of Gaza|Mediterranean port]] flourished. In 635 AD, it became the first city in the [[Palestine (region)|Palestine region]] to be conquered by the [[Rashidun army]] and quickly developed into a centre of [[Fiqh|Islamic law]]. However, by the time the [[Crusader states]] were established in 1099, Gaza City was in ruins. In later centuries, Gaza City experienced several hardships—from [[Mongol raids into Palestine|Mongol raids]] to severe flooding and [[locust swarm]]s, reducing it to a village by the 16th century, when it was incorporated into the [[Ottoman Empire]]. During the first half of Ottoman rule, the [[Ridwan dynasty]] controlled Gaza City and the city went through an age of great commerce and peace. The municipality of Gaza City was established in 1893. Gaza City fell to British forces during [[World War I]], becoming a [[Gaza Subdistrict, Mandatory Palestine|part]] of [[Mandatory Palestine]]. As a result of the [[1948 Arab–Israeli War]], Egypt administered the newly formed Gaza Strip territory and several improvements were undertaken in the city. Its population rose sharply after the influx of [[Palestinian refugees]] displaced by the war and the ensuing [[Nakba]]. Gaza City was [[Israeli occupied territories|occupied]] by [[Israel]] in the [[Six-Day War]] in 1967, and in 1993, the city was transferred to the newly created [[Palestinian National Authority]]. In the months following the 2006 election, an [[Fatah-Hamas conflict|armed conflict]] broke out between the Palestinian political factions of [[Fatah]] and [[Hamas]], resulting in the latter [[Battle of Gaza (2007)|taking power in Gaza]].

TITLE: Ethnic cleansing of the Jews of Gaza in 1948. BODY: During Israel’s 1948 War of Independence, the entire Jewish presence in the Gaza District — which dated back centuries in some places and to the 1920s–30s in others — was destroyed or expelled when the Egyptian army invaded from the south (May 1948) and overran the settlements in that region. Below is a historically grounded list based on contemporary Israeli archives (Yad Ben-Zvi, the IDF Historical Branch, and the 1950s Encyclopaedia of the Founding of the State of Israel).

Kfar Darom (כפר דרום) Year founded: 1946 Type: Kibbutz Fate in 1948: Besieged and ethnically cleansed by the Palestinians and Egyptians Notes: Founded by Ha-Poel Ha-Mizrachi; heroically defended by 30 members for months against Egyptian army and Muslim Brotherhood forces; evacuated June 1948. Site remained under Egyptian control until 1967.

Be’erot Yitzhak (בארות יצחק) Year founded: 1943 Type: Kibbutz Fate in 1948: Besieged and ethnically cleansed by the Palestinians and Egyptians Notes: Located east of Gaza near Dayr Suneid; attacked by Egyptian army with armor and air support; defenders withdrew under heavy losses.

Nirim (נירים) (originally Dangour) Year founded: 1943 Type: Kibbutz Fate in 1948: Besieged and ethnically cleansed by the Palestinians and Egyptians Notes: Attacked on day of independence by Egyptian forces using artillery; 7 defenders killed. Site captured and held by Egypt until 1949.

Jewish quarter of Gaza City (Old community) Year founded: Late Ottoman period Type: Urban Community Fate in 1948: Evacuated by the British and destroyed by Palestinians to complete the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish community Notes: A centuries-old Jewish quarter remained in Gaza until British evacuation; its few remaining families fled before Egyptian entry in May 1948. No Jewish residents remained thereafter.

If not for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish poplutation from Gaza, and subtracting the in-migration of Muslim economic migrants from Egypt, it is feasible that Gaza would have a Jewish majority today.

Confirmed, and noting that it is nonsense. None of the three named places were in Gaza city. There were Jews in Gaza city, but only about one quarter of one percent of the population. These migrants from Egypt don't exist. Perhaps LuvZion is confusing them with the large number of refugees expelled from their communities in Palestine by Israel.
