caption_attribution_description: August 17, 2005. Residents of Atzmona held a ceremony for the closing of the pre-military preparatory program in the town. Many soldiers were present during the ceremony. The evacuation of Atzmona pictured was part of the Gaza disengagement in the summer of 2005.
context_page_description: Bnei Atzmon was an Israeli settlement previously in the Sinai Peninsula, later moved to the Gaza Strip before being destroyed in 2005.
context_section_description: It was home to about 90 families, including just under 600 people, at the time of its destruction as a result of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan on August 17, 2005. While some form of opposition had been expected from residents in this nationalistic settlement, the actual expulsion was carried out without active or even passive resistance. The pre-army preparatory program was also pulled without resistance, with the participation of several senior army officers who had been invited especially for this "pull-out."
