The news reports are carrying stories of clashes between Israeli troops and settlers in the Gaza settlements, as some abandoned beachfront buildings (known by the settlers as Shirat Hayam) were demolished by the Israeli Defence Forces.
Is this refusal a foretaste of what is to come as the Israeli excauvation Gaza begins in August?
This kind of settler action is different from the traditional settler violence against Palestinian civilians and their property, which has long been a feature of the landscape of the occupied territories.
