Israelis form 55 mile chain against Gaza withdrawal plan
Israelis formed a 55 mile human chain from Gaza to Jerusalem to protest Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip. Six Palestinians and five Israeli children were injured as mortars hit Neve Dekalim and a Gaza City house. Police and rescue services reported varied turnout figures up to 150000, with estimates ranging from 70000 to 130000. The protest followed clashes and Israeli raids in the West Bank, including Nablus and Tulkarem, tied to the larger conflict over settlements and peace terms.
