Otzem (Template:Lang-he) is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in Hevel Lakhish, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lakhish Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 774.[1]
History
The moshav was founded in 1955 by Jewish immigrants from Morocco as part of the effort to settle the region on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Iraq Suwaydan.[2] The name, which means "intensity", refers to the intensity of the battles that took place here between the Israel Defense Forces and the Egyptian army during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[citation needed]
