West Bank has 942 checkpoints and gates
Recent data from the Resistance of the Wall and Settlements Committee reveal that the system of barriers and military checkpoints built by Israel in the West Bank has transformed the area into a network of restricted pathways. Over the past few months, 942 obstacles and points have been documented, including 824 fixed barriers and 118 linear obstacles, stretching approximately 107.7 kilometers. This infrastructure contributes to reducing communication between Palestinian communities, imposes high costs on Palestinians, and restricts access to schools, workplaces, agricultural lands, and services. It fosters an oppressive environment that undermines daily life and stability. The data also show the expansion of this system, with 13 new barriers added in the last two months. Settlers have shifted from using military checkpoints to establishing their own permanent gates, aiming for direct control over roads and connectivity. This process redraws the Palestinian geography, further disintegrating citizens' ties to their land, and reflects a shift in the nature of Israeli control over land and people.
