Kfar Aza (lit. ’Gaza Village’) is a kibbutz in southern Israel. Located between the cities of Netivot and Sderot, around 2 kilometres east of the border with the Gaza Strip, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council. The kibbutz was established in August 1951 by Jewish immigrants and refugees from Egypt and the Moroccan city of Tangier who had received training in more established kibbutzim of Ein Harod, Ayelet HaShahar and later Afikim. It was temporarily abandoned in 1955, and in January 1957 members of the Mita’arim gar’in moved in.
