Ghazaliya

Ghazaliya (Arabic: الغزالية) is a neighborhood in the western outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq, in the city's Mansour district.

To the north of Ghazaliya is the neighborhood of Al-Shu'ala, to the east is Al-Adel, to the south is Al Khadhraa, and to the west is Abu Ghraib.

The second theory suggests the district is located at an area that used to be partially owned by a woman named غزالة (Ghazala).

[2] When Sunni–Shia conflict flared in Iraq following the February 2006 al-Askari Mosque bombing in Samarra, Shia militias pushed into Ghazaliya from neighboring Al-Shu'ala.

The US Army built concrete walls to segregate the two communities and to create a secure perimeter.
