Settlers Opposed to Israeli Pullout from Gaza Erect New Outpost
---------------------------------------------------------------

Dozens of Jewish activists return to site where Israeli soldiers
demolished abandoned buildings Dozens of Jewish activists have set up
a new outpost in the Gaza Strip at the site where Israeli soldiers
demolished abandoned buildings.

Activists returned to the site near the Gush Katif settlement bloc
overnight, set up tents on top of the rubble and named the encampment
Tal Yam.

Sunday, 10 Israeli civilians and 10 soldiers and police officers were
slightly injured during a scuffle that broke out when authorities
bulldozed a row of abandoned houses.

Israel wanted the buildings demolished to prevent opponents of the
Gaza pullout plan from using them as a base of resistance during the
withdrawal expected in August.

Israel plans to remove thousands of Jewish settlers from the Gaza
Strip and four small West Bank settlements.
