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

In accordance with the implementation of the disengagement plan 2005 law and following the decision of the Israeli government, you are required to leave your home and the Gaza Strip today, Monday 15/08/05.

The military rule that began with the Six-Day War ends today. I hope that the departure of our forces from the Gaza Strip symbolizes the beginning of a period of tranquillity.

After the 17th, the only thing left will be for them to fight with the army.

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.

We completed today the evacuation of the Israeli presence from the Gaza Strip.

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

What we saw here was a breaking of all the boundaries that we worked so hard to maintain over the past few days. We will deal with the full severity of the law with these people who desecrated the synagogue and went berserk and injured officers.

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

We're going to outnumber everybody. We have the technology, the knowledge and the will to confront (defiant settlers).
