Some places in southern Israel (e.g. Ashdod) are listed as being in both Israel and Gaza Strip.

To reproduce: search for "Ashdod" (or "Palmahim" or "Nizana" ) in OSM or in Nominatim.

Looking at the data in Nominatim, it shows:
Address

Ashdod (Type: place:city, way 34929243, 15, 0 GOTO)

South District (Type: boundary:administrative, relation 1473952, 4, 0.985437346771934 GOTO)

Israel (Type: boundary:administrative, relation 1473946, 2, 0.400022604761034 GOTO)

Israel (Type: boundary:administrative, relation 1473946, 2, 0.400231047320927 GOTO)

Israel (Type: boundary:administrative, relation 1473946, 2, 0.400231047675712 GOTO)

Gaza Strip (Type: place:country, node 581141063, 15, 0.479282470008158 GOTO)

This is a data problem in OSM. The first answer on help.osm.org is spot-on:
