KFAR MAIMON, Israel - Israeli police encircled thousands of Gaza withdrawal opponents Tuesday, confining them to a fenced-in farming village to prevent them from marching to the nearby Gaza Strip in protest. Scuffles broke out as demonstrators tried to pushed through the police cordon. It was the biggest showdown between protesters and security forces since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon announced last year he would dismantle all 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza and four in the West Bank.
