On August 14, 2005, 10,000 Israeli citizens were relocated from their homes in the Gush Katif region of the Gaza Strip.

During the ten days, Israelis and viewers around the world watched Israeli soldiers forcibly carry off the settlers. The events coincided with investigations into Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for fraud. 

At the time, TheRebel.media's Israeli correspondent Igal Hecht documented the events known as "the Gaza Disengagement." He talks to former residents about their experiences. Many remain unemployed and living in temporary housing. The Disengagement was supposed to bring peace, but the opposite has happened: Hamas took over Gaza, using it as a launching point for attacks on Israel.
