Soldier's Square or Square of the Unknown Soldier ({{lang-ar|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.^[1]

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.^[2] A public garden was later developed at the site with financial help from Norway,^[1] along with a coffeehouse serving visitors to the square.^[2]The design of the park was chosen through a contest, it was designed by the architect Nizar Al Kishawi
