RAF Gaza, Royal Air Force station in Gaza, Palestine.
The military airfield operated near the Mediterranean coastline with runways capable of accommodating both civil aircraft and military planes throughout its operational period.
The facility, constructed in 1917 under Ottoman Empire supervision, transformed into a British Royal Air Force base that supported multiple squadrons during World War II.
The station connected Gaza to international destinations through Imperial Airways passenger services, linking Palestine with routes extending to Baghdad, Karachi, and Batavia.
The former airfield location corresponds to the current Karni crossing area between Gaza Strip and Israel, with remnants of British concrete roads still visible.
From July to September 1942, RAF Gaza functioned as the Middle East ammunition depot, storing military supplies during critical wartime operations.
