Completion of Disengagement from Gaza Strip by Israeli Military Forces

On September 12, 2005, Israel completed its disengagement from the Gaza Strip, marking a significant shift in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This strategic move involved the withdrawal of all Israeli military presence and the dismantling of settlements in the region. The disengagement aimed to reduce friction and enhance security for both Israelis and Palestinians. Following this, on September 22, 2005, Israel also completed its military disengagement from the northern West Bank. These actions were pivotal as they altered the dynamics of control and occupation in these territories, leading to new challenges and opportunities for peace negotiations. The disengagement was part of a broader strategy to redefine Israel's borders and address the ongoing conflict, reflecting a complex interplay of political, social, and security considerations in the region.
