As WND reported, Israel's defense ministry this morning imposed closure on the Gaza Strip, explaining it was in response to recent "provocations by right-wing extremists," and was not part of any campaign to start the August 15 Gaza evacuation early.
Hours later, Israeli soldiers, police commando units and border guards today stormed the Palm Beach Hotel – a seafront building alongside Gush Kaatif, the largest slate of Gaza Jewish communities – and forcibly evicted its occupants. Anti-withdrawal activists, including a few Israel accused of inciting violence, had taken up residence in the hotel in recent months.

Klein now reports a major settler organization decided tonight if the Gaza Strip is not reopened within twenty-four hours, tens of thousands of activists will flood to the area to in protest.
