In Gaza, Israeli police raided buildings that Israeli activists have been occupying to protest the Gaza evacuation plan.  The protestors handcuffed themselves to each other and to furniture to resist orders to leave.  The settlers' Yesha council demanded that the Israeli Defense Forces re-open the Gaza strip.  Earlier in the day, Israel declared it a closed military zone, allowing no one to enter, including Israelis who live in the area. It is reported that many of the right wing activists traveled from the
