From AFP News Agency.
Within sight of Gaza, the devastated Palestinian enclave ravaged by nearly 22 months of war, hundreds of Israeli settlers march to stake their claim on the battered territory. Waving Israeli flags alongside the orange banners of Gush Katif — a bloc of settlements dismantled in 2005 — the marchers make their way from the town of Sderot to the Asaf Siboni observation point, overlooking the ruins of Beit Hanun. The would-be settlers say they have been in talks with hardline members of the ruling coalition and believe there may be a political opening, despite the fact that reoccupation is deemed illegal under international law.
