The island has belonged to Spain since 1668, but is claimed by Morocco. There has been no Spanish presence on the island for the last 40 years.

Spanish forces removed six Moroccan soldiers from the island in a dawn operation Wednesday. By midmorning, a dozen Spanish soldiers had taken up defense positions along the island's periphery, as two soldiers patrolled the island and five warships circled nearby waters.

Spain took action after consulting with the U.N. Security Council and the country's allies, according to a statement from the office of Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar.
