Zikhron Yosef (Hebrew: זכרון יוסף lit. Memorial for Joseph) is a former courtyard neighborhood in Jerusalem. The neighborhood was established in 1927 near the Mahane Yehuda Market by Kurdish Jewish immigrants who used to live in the Old City of Jerusalem. The neighborhood is named after its former landowner Joseph Levy, whose son sold the land on condition that the neighborhood would be named after his father. Because the neighbourhood was built during the British Mandate in Palestine, it was built according to the planning and building laws of the British authorities – this is noticeable due to the relatively low houses in the neighbourhood which reach a maximum height of only three floors. The neighborhood is bordered by the streets Agrippas-HaYarmouk, HaArnon and HaYarkon. Today it is part of the Nachlaot neighborhood.

The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.

Gush Katif Museum (Hebrew: מוזיאון גוש קטיף) is a museum located in Jerusalem, Israel. the museum was founded in August 2008 and is mainly examining the Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip from Hasmonean dynasty to today. The museum also examines the Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip following Six-Day War. The museum is located in the Nachlaot neighborhood in Jerusalem, near Mahane Yehuda Market. One of the founders of the museum was Shalom Dov Wolpo, who was charged with "bribing soldiers to refuse to evacuate illegal West Bank outposts." The purpose of the museum, according to its operators, is "to create a consciousness of remembrance, preservation and salute to the enterprise of Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip, and to maintain a vigil of national consciousness in memory of the displacement of the settlements in Gush Katif and northern Samaria, as part of what was called the "disengagement plan". The museum has 8 wings: introduction, settlement from 67, the orange wing, the black wing, the future, the movie hall, the library and the exhibition floor. The museum was established by the association "Gush Katif Private Museum in Jerusalem", which their goal is to "Commemorate Gush Katif settlements". The association is considered to be right-leaning in Israeli politics. A large majority of the Israeli public over the years did not see the annexation of Gaza as a good or realistic idea. After the start of the Israel-Hamas War on October 7th, 2023, museum guide Oded Mizrahi reported that the museum received an increase of visitors, as well as "interest from the international press."
