Al-Musaddar (Arabic: المُصَدّر) is a Palestinian village in the central Gaza Strip, part of the Deir al-Balah Governorate east of Deir al-Balah, south of the Maghazi refugee camp and west of the border with Israel. In the 1997 census its population was 1,277.[2] Al-Musaddar had a population of 2,587 in 2017 according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).[1] The area is the site of a local fish farm and a sports center funded by USAID, which was targeted by the Israeli Air Force in 2014.[3][4]

The village was a frequent target of Israeli bombing during the Gaza genocide.[5][6][7]
