The Disengagement Plan was a government program carried out on Tisha B'Av 5765 (2005) by [[the State of Israel]], initiated by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, during which nearly ten thousand Jews were expelled from twenty-five settlements in the Gaza Strip. The plan sparked massive resistance, and in the year preceding its implementation, protests and demonstrations were held with hundreds of thousands of participants, roads were blocked throughout the country, and stickers condemning the plan were posted nationwide. Despite the opposition, IDF soldiers were forced to carry out the mission, which involved fierce resistance from the settlers, and violently remove those who refused to leave, who were supported by thousands of youth.
'''The Disengagement Plan''' was a government program carried out arounf the time of Tisha B'Av 5765 (2005) by [[the State of Israel]], initiated by Prime Minister [[Ariel Sharon]], during which nearly ten thousand Jews were expelled from twenty-five settlements in the [[Gaza|Gaza Strip]], known as "[[Gush Katif]]." The plan sparked massive resistance, and in the year preceding its implementation, protests and demonstrations were held with hundreds of thousands of participants, roads were blocked throughout the country, and stickers condemning the plan were posted nationwide. Despite the opposition, [[IDF]] soldiers were forced to carry out the mission, which involved fierce resistance from the settlers, and violently remove those who refused to leave, who were supported by thousands of youth.


Since the plan contradicted [[the Rebbe]]'s Torah-security doctrine, many Chabad chassidim took part in the struggle to prevent the plan, led by Rabbi Gedaliah Axelrod, Rabbi Yosef Gerlitzky, Rabbi Shalom Ber Wolpo, Rabbi Kuti Rapp, Rabbi Zimroni Tzik, Rabbi David Nachshon, and the Rebbe's shliach to Gush Katif, Rabbi Yigal Kirschnzaft.
