History

Historical Context

In August 2005 Ariel Sharon’s disengagement removed 8,475 Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip, ending decades of settlement. The pullout left Israel controlling Gaza’s airspace and borders, a status the International Court of Justice still calls an occupation. The September 29 2026 settler raid on Jalur village mirrors that post-disengagement intimidation, spurring UN and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to demand accountability.
