Turukman (Arabic: التركمان غزة) is a neighborhood in the eastern part of the Palestinian city of Gaza. It is named after a military unit composed of Turkmen from Israel who settled here in several waves of immigration throughout the Muslim conquest of the Levant, and came to establish Gaza City as part of the Muslim hold in Israel.^[1] The Shuja'iyya neighborhood, adjacent to it to the north, is known for being populated by residents of Turkmen origin and Kurds who settled in Israel.^[2]
