Morag (moshav)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morag was an Israeli settlement in Gush Katif, in the south-west edge of the Gaza Strip, evacuated in Israel's disengagement of 2005.
The southernmost settlement in Gush Katif, it was first established on May 29, 1972 as a pioneer Nahal military outpost, and demilitarized when turned over to residential purposes in 1983. It became a religious agricultural worker's cooperative, whose residents earned their living growing flowers and vegetables in hothouses. At the time of the evacuation, there were about forty families including about 200 people.
On the ruins of the destroyed village, an Arab locality is being built in its place called Sheikh Khalifa.
