âHalf of Gaza settlers have leftâ
ESHKOL, Israel - Around half of the Gaza Strip settlers have already left ahead of a midnight deadline for them to go of their own accord or face being evicted by force, a senior Israeli official said on Tuesday. âWe have about 50 percent in Gush Katif evacuated,â General Eival Giladi, the disengagementâs plan strategic coordinator told a news conference, referring to the main settlement bloc in southern Gaza.
One of the three northern settlements has already been officially declared as empty while hardly anyone else is still remaining in the other two northern settlements.
