Shuja'iyya (Arabic: الشجاعية also Shijaiyeh, Shujayya, Shuja'ia, Shuja'iyaand Sajaiyeh) is a neighborhood district of the Palestinian city of Gaza east of the city center, its nucleus situated on a hill, located across the main Salah al-Din Road that runs north-south throughout the Gaza Strip. It is one of the largest neighborhoods in Gaza, with around 100,000 residents. Shuja'iyya contains several ancient structures, mosques and tombs. The Commonwealth War Cemetery is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the commercial center of the neighborhood.
Shuja'iyya had been a frequent target in Israel's 2008-09 airstrikes of the Gaza Strip. A women and children's clinic was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike during the hostilities with no casualties reported.
During the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip, Operation Protective Edge, Shuja'iyya was heavily shelled by Israeli forces. Between 65 to 120 Palestinians were killed in the shelling, including at least 17 children, 14 women and four elderly persons, and 13 Israeli soldiers were killed by Palestinian militants. Israel stated the district was targeted because 8% of the rocket attacks by Palestinian militant groups against Israel originated in Shuja'iyya. [Info via: Wikipedia]
