Army lifts siege on Gaza district

Army lifts siege on Gaza district
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3741217.stm

The UN estimates at least 1,600 people have lost their homes
The Israeli army has ended a six-day siege of Tel Sultan in the Gaza Strip.
Troops first moved in the area last Tuesday in Operation Rainbow, which Israel said was to destroy tunnels used for arms smuggling from Egypt.

Subsequent fighting left more than 40 Palestinians dead, and dozens of houses were demolished.

A military source said the redeployment was to "ease conditions for Palestinians", although Israeli troops remain in nearby Rafah.


Operation Rainbow is part of preparations for a pullout from the area envisaged by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

5. A good analogy.
I expect it is quite deliberate.
