Welcome to the Promised Land
Israeli police use a steel grate to climb onto a roof to evict a family from their home in the Jewish settlement of Gadid, Friday Aug. 19, 2005. Israeli troops quickly cleared out Gadid's synagogue full of dozens of opponents to the Gaza pullout, avoiding a repeat of previous day's violence in which youths holed up on a rooftop pelted soldiers with acid, oil and sand. The smooth operation that cleared out the small settlement of Gadid was the latest sign of progress as Israel pushed forward with its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
