__ Strip; Palestinian territory
I believe the answer is:
gaza

'strip' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'palestinian territory' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for gaza that I've seen before include "Philistine city" , "troubled region" , "Palestinian area" , "Palestinian city" , "Palestinian region" .)
