IDF Spokesperson Announcement
Declaration regarding end of military rule in Gaza Strip
Tonight, September 12, 2005 the Head of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Dan Harel signed a declaration stating the end of military rule in the Gaza Strip. This follows the evacuation of all IDF forces from the region and the handing over of control of the region to the Palestinian Authority; in accordance with the decision of the Israeli Government.
This declaration annuls the declaration signed June 6, 1967 by the former Head of the Southern Command, Maj. Gen. Yishayahu Gavish declaring the start of military rule in the area.
This is the final legislative act taken by an IDF commander in the Gaza Strip after 38 years of IDF presence in the region.
