GAZA, Sept. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- Palestinian Civil Affairs Minister Mohammed Dahlan said on Sunday that despite an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the coastal strip is still under occupation. In a written statement sent to reporters, Dahlan, who returned Saturday from Jordan for treating back pain there, said Israel still keeps the ability to invade Gaza again in the future by controlling Gaza's airspace, waterway, borders and crossings. "Israel is deceiving itself if it believes that occupying Gaza Strip has now ended," he said. Israeli security sources said earlier that ceremonies of handingover the security control of Gaza Strip to the Palestinian security forces would start at 4:30 pm (13:00 GNT) Sunday at Erez crossing, declaring the start of the Israeli army withdrawal.
