Unknown Soldier's Square
Soldier's Square or Square of the Unknown Soldier ((アラビア語:ميدان الجندي المجهول) ''Midan al-Jundi al-Majhool'') is a city square in Gaza City, situated along Omar Mukhtar Street in the Rimal district. It is currently a large public garden popular with unemployed Gazans during the day and promenading families in the evenings.〔Winter, 2000, p.429.〕
==History==
Soldier's Square receives its name from an unknown native Palestinian Arab soldier (''feda'i'') who died during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and was buried at the site. Prior to Israel's occupation of Gaza in 1967, the center of the site bore a statue pointing north to the rest of Palestine commemorating the soldier. It was pulled down by Israeli authorities and until the 1990s, Soldier's Square was a patch of sand with a white plinth (remnant of the statue) in the center.〔Jacobs, 1998, p.455."〕 A public garden was later developed at the site with financial help from Norway,〔 along with a coffeehouse serving visitors to the square.〔
