"The Israel Defense Forces have said lately that settler youths are coming en masse to Gaza in efforts to obstruct the disengagement plan.
IDF officers serving in the Hebron region have lately noticed an interesting phenomenon: The number of incidents involving encounters between settlers and IDF troops and police has dropped quite dramatically. The army attributes this change, at least partially, to "the hilltop youth migration."

Teenagers have been responsible for a large share of the incidents in the region in recent years. Some of them are settlers from Hebron and Kiryat Arba, while others are "hilltop youth" from Samaria who came to Hebron and the outposts around the city."

"IDF sources say the gathering of hilltop youth in the Gaza Strip has been especially felt since the disengagement bill was approved by the Knesset this past October.
They are congregating particularly in relatively isolated settlements that suffer from harsh Palestinian attacks, such as Netzarim, Kfar Darom and Morag.

The Southern Command believes the phenomenon will expand as the scheduled July disengagement approaches, at which point thousands of older right-wing activists are expected to join the campaign."

1. Sharon is not serious with the disengagement

If Sharon were really serious with his disengagement plan and was not expecting for Israelis to prevent it from happening, then he would give the settlers a deadline to keep their Israeli citizenship by moving west of the green line or replace it equality among Palestinians.

2. Sharon is serious

Sharon orders army chiefs to show zero tolerance to Gaza pullout refuseniks

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told his top brass Wednesday to show zero tolerance towards any soldiers who refuse orders to evacuate Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, official sources said.

In a meeting with the army's most senior officers, Sharon emphasised that the army "must make no concessions and demonstrate a firm resolve" in the face of growing calls by opponents of the pullout for soldiers to disobey any commands to implement what they regard as "a forcible transfer of Jews."
