West Bank occupation includes 942 checkpoints
Data from the Resistance Committee for the Wall and Settlements reveals that the system of Israeli barriers and military gates in the West Bank has expanded significantly. By 2026, the total number is expected to reach 942 barriers and obstacles, including 824 fixed barriers and 118 lines of fences and trenches, stretching approximately 107.7 kilometers. This system leads to a redivision of Palestinian land into encircled pockets and "cantons," with movement and access to work, education, and services limited to a perpetually controlled system. This hampers stability and puts pressure on the ability to remain. The numbers show differences between provinces, with Hebron topping the list at 221 barriers. The number of fixed gates and barriers continues to grow steadily, with 13 new barriers added in the past two months. Additionally, settlers have shifted from relying solely on military barriers to establishing permanent closing tools themselves, which strengthens control over roads and land permanently. This results in a more complex and restrictive Palestinian geography.
