Palestinian security forces run to prevent protesters after they tried to get close to the wall of the vacant Jewish settlement of Neve Dekalim, southern Gaza Strip August 31,2005. Egypt's intelligence chief met Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and militant factions on Monday in a bid to coordinate security and border issues ahead of Israel's planned troop pullout from the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel has evacuated 8,500 Jewish settlers from the Strip and says it expects to withdraw its troops from the area by mid-September to end a 38-year-old military presence. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa
