Dimra
Place in Gaza, Mandatory Palestine

Dimra

Dimra was a small Arab village located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) northeast of Gaza City in British Palestine.

Ancient remains at the site attest to a long-time human settlement there; during the Mamluk era, the town was the home of the Bani Jabir tribe. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and is now the site of Erez, a kibbutz in Israel.
