Morag, was the southernmost settlement in Gush Katif. It was first established on 29 May 1972, as a non-religious pioneer Nahal military outpost, and demilitarized when turned over to residential purposes in 1982.[1] It later became a religious agricultural worker cooperative, whose residents earned their living growing flowers and vegetables in hothouses.[citation needed] At the time of the evacuation, there were about forty families including about 200 people.[citation needed]
Unilateral disengagement
Sixteen families of Morag were evicted on August 17, 2005, by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli Police. Others had left earlier following the government orders.[1][2]
