The process of evacuating the settlers of Gaza who refused the clear out the settlements voluntarily continued under protests and fights by some settlers who were taken by the occupation soldiers away from houses established on lands confiscated from the Palestinians in 1967.

The occupation forces detained several extremists settlers who sneaked to Gaza settlements in order to obstruct withdrawal from there.

Meantime, the Israeli police said that one of the woman settlers, an emigrant from Russia, that arrived recently in Israel, burnt herself near Ofakim south of Israel, several kilometers from occupied Gaza in protest over the Israeli withdrawal.

A high ranking Israeli official said on Wednesday that the government made sure of evacuating four settlements voluntarily in Gaza.
