r/Israel on Reddit: The "Gaza Envelope"
January 27, 2023 -
Hi. I often read news from Israel and often see the phrase "Gaza Envelope" when referring to communities around Gaza. Is this a translation from a Hebrew phrase? Or are they trying to say 'communities that envelop Gaza'. I've never heard of a geographical area referred to as an envelope.
Thanks alot!

Yes, it’s a translation from the Hebrew עוטף עזה. What it means is “the area around Gaza”

Probably just a bad translation of "Otef Aza" - the communities in close proximity to Gaza. Israelis love to take a Hebrew phrase and translate it directly to English even when it sounds bad or doesn't make sense.

October 24, 2023 - What characterizes these traditionally collective towns is the sense of community and importance attributed to human values. Following the terror attack and with the eruption of the resultant war, about 60,000 people were evacuated from the Gaza envelope towns, which are now under heavy rocket fire and have become a closed military area until further notice.
