Auja al-Hafir
Auja al-Hafir, also Auja, was an ancient road junction close to water wells〔(Glossary of Israeli Parties and Personalities - 1948-1981 ) published by ''the Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs''〕 in the western Negev and eastern Sinai. It was the traditional grazing land of the 'Azazme tribe. The border crossing between Egypt and Ottoman/British Palestine, about south of Gaza, was situated there. Today it is the site of Nitzana and the Ktzi'ot military base in the Southern District of Israel. ==Etymology== Other sources name the locality el-Audja, 'Uja al-Hafeer, El Auja el Hafir and variations thereof. ''A‘waj'' means "bent" in Arabic, and "Al-Auja" is a common name for meandering streams (the Yarkon River in Israel and a smaller stream near Jericho on the West Bank both are called Al-Auja in Arabic). "Hafir" means a water reservoir built to catch runoff water at the base of a slope; in Sudan it can also mean a drainage ditch.
