Sabra (Arabic: الصبرة) is a neighborhood district in western Gaza City. It was established during the Mandatory Palestine period in Palestine. It contains the city's municipal mark, built in the 1930s south of Omar Mukhtar Street.[1] An UNRWA health center is located in the neighborhood.[2]
During the Gaza war (2023–present), Israeli forces carried out operations in the Sabra neighborhood. According to Reuters, at least 10-12 Palestinians were reported killed in the area, with the IDF stating the strikes targeted militant infrastructure.[3][4]
