Tuffah has existed since early Mamluk rule in Gaza in the 13th century. The southern part of Tuffah was called "ad-Dabbaghah". According to Ottoman tax records in the late 16th century, it was a small neighborhood containing 57 households. The ad-Dabbaghah neighborhood contained Gaza's slaughterhouse and tanners' facilities during the Ottoman era (1517-1917). The northern subdivision of Tuffah was called "Bani Amir."[4]
The 14th-century Ibn Marwan Mosque is located in the district as is the 13th-century Aybaki Mosque.[5] Home to the British War Cemetery, Tuffah also contains a public library and a number of Palestinian Red Crescent-run schools.[6]
the neighborhood was subjected to heavy Israeli artillery fire and airstrikes; multiple Palestinian journalists were also killed in targeted airstrikes in the area.[7][8] The quarter's residents were subject to forced displacement by the Israeli military in August 2024.[9]
The Israeli Air Force bombed at least two schools in the neighborhood.[10]
