Israeli Capt. Asaf Yemini talks to soldiers at the Kissufim crossing point to enter the Gush Katif bloc of settlements in the Gaza Strip, Sunday, July 17, 2005. Posted at a checkpoint outside Gaza, Yemini had a clear mission Sunday, keeping hard-line protesters from reaching Jewish settlements in the strip ahead of next month's withdrawal. The young army captain, who grew up in the Gaza settlement of Gedid, stood his ground even as boyhood friends and neighbors passed him by, maligning him as a traitor. (AP Photo/Tomeriko)
