Shlomo (R), a young Israeli, eats an apple on the roof a Synagogue during a special prayer for ending Tisha B'Av fast day, commemorating the destruction of the biblical Jewish Temples 2,000 years ago, at the Jewish Gaza Strip settlement of Kfar Darom in Gush Katif settlements bloc, August 14, 2005. As they have done every year on the most solemn day on the Jewish calendar, Israeli settlers in the Gaza Strip fasted on Sunday in commemoration of Jews exiled in ancient times. But with the evacuation of occupied Gaza just days away, for many settlers this year's rituals of Tisha Be'av were more sombre than ever. REUTERS/Nir Elias
