Thousands of Palestinians gather excitedly on edge of abandoned Jewish settlements in Gaza on Sunday, poised to rush in as the Israeli army prepared to get out following decades of occupation; Palestinian says, ‘It’s going to be a sleepless night. We will be watching them until the moment they are gone and then we will all go in’

"Thousands of Palestinians gathered excitedly on the edge of abandoned Jewish settlements in Gaza on Sunday, poised to rush in as the Israeli army prepared to get out following decades of occupation.

Violence broke out when soldiers remaining on guard before the slated overnight withdrawal fired at youths throwing stones at them, wounding four as Israeli generals conducted a flag-lowering ceremony in a nearby demolished settlement.

Earlier, troops had fired into the air from time to time to keep growing crowds back from fences dividing the ex-Gush Katif settlement bloc from the Palestinian city of Khan Younis."

"Residents clambered atop roofs of the cinderblock refugee quarter for a bird’s eye view of the settlement area, bulldozed by the army, and the glinting Mediterranean Sea just beyond - out of bounds to local Palestinians for decades."
