Nadia Matar of the Women in Green movement managed to avoid arrest in Hevron despite house-to-house searches being carried out to locate and apprehend her for leading the struggle against the forced eviction.

Matar reportedly left Hevron disguised as a pregnant Hareidi-religious woman, as photos of her had been dispatched to security forces.

"The struggle began at 4 AM and lasted six hours - for two homes," Matar told Arutz-7. "If we had held out in this determined a manner for every two houses in Gush Katif - the expulsion would not have happened. Today was an incredible rectification of the mistakes of Gush Katif."
