Israeli troops begin second day of Gaza evacuation
Hundreds of Gaza pullout opponents barricaded themselves behind rolls of barbed wire in the synagogue of the hard-line Jewish settlement Kfar Darom today, as security forces surrounded the building on the second day of the forcible removal of settlers.
Young protesters stood on the roof of the synagogue, defiantly waving Israeli flags. Officers said they expected stiff opposition from the 2,000 people in the settlement.
