20 years later, Israelis ask if the Gaza exit backfired — and if it's time to go back

Militant Jewish settlers barricade themselves on the roof of their synagogue as hundreds of Israeli troops and police deploy at sunrise to evacuate the veteran Jewish community of Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, on Aug. 18, 2005.

Twenty years ago, Israel dismantled its settlements and withdrew from the Gaza Strip. Now, Israelis ask if it helped pave the way for the Oct. 7 attack, and some want to resettle there.
