Regional Council Hof Aza (meaning Gaza seashore) includes the 'C' areas in the Gaza Strip. Est. 1978. 6,000 inh. in 17 settlements. The image with black and orange colours is based on the desk flag, so there could be changes when used as a hoisted flag. The one with light blue and black is based on the natural colours of the emblem. Source: photo of the desk flag received from Ralph Phillips.

The emblem of Hof Aza has not been formally adopted. Israeli municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 cannot register their emblems. The reason is that those areas are not legally part of Israel and according to international law they are governed by decrees of the military commander of the areas. Many Israeli laws are in force in those municipalities when adopted there by the military commander, but the Symbols/Emblems Protection Act of 1974 is not one of them.
