Beit Hanoun, North Gaza Governorate, Gaza, Palestine
๐ต๐ธ Beit Hanoun or Beit Hanun (Arabic: ุจูุช ุญุงููู) is a city on the north-east edge of the Gaza Strip. It is administered by the Hamas administration. It is located by the Hanoun stream, just 6 km (3.7ย mi) away from the Israeli town of Sderot. After 19 Palestinian civilians died during shelling by the IDF in 2006, the United Nations appointed a fact-finding commission, to be led by Desmond Tutu, to investigate if the shelling constituted a war crime; but the investigation was cancelled due to the lack of Israeli co-operation.
The Ayyubids defeated the Crusaders at a battle in Umm al-Nasser hill, just west of Beit Hanoun in 1239, and built the Umm al-Naser Mosque ("Mother of Victories Mosque") there in commemoration of the victory. A Mamluk post office was located in Beit Hanoun as well.
Educational and health institutions There are twelve secondary, primary and agricultural schools in Beit Hanoun and an agricultural college which is related to al-Azhar University - Gaza. There is a medical centre and hospital in the city and several clinics mostly managed by the United Nations.
