What we saw here crossed all boundaries. Everybody who was now on the roof will be arrested and put in prison.

We are at the start of a new beginning, a historic opportunity for a better future for both peoples.

We are here to evacuate, and we will not leave until it is empty.

They can wave any flag they want, but we expect the Palestinian Authority to take full responsibility.

We will not accept violence or incitement.

Apparently, some civilians were killed, and we are very sorry about that. We did not expect such results and if we had known ... we might would have aborted the mission.

All in all this is a victory for the security forces and for the settlers.

Right now there are no Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip . The only Israeli citizens (in the strip) are the security forces.
