Jenin adds 10 gates in two months
In the Jenin governorate, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of checkpoints and fixed barriers controlling Palestinian movement over the past two months. Ten gates and three fixed closure points have been added, bringing the total number of fixed barriers to 26, up from 16 previously. This increase has expanded the closure network, which is spread across entrances and roads linking towns and villages, directly impacting access to cities and agricultural lands. It also turns roads into spaces that can be closed at any time. The report also noted that the barrier system in the West Bank has expanded significantly since the 2003 intifada, with their number rising from 757 in 2003 to 942 barriers and obstructions in 2026. Although fixed gates now constitute a larger part of the closure system compared to temporary barriers, this development complicates residents' movement and further restricts mobility within the region.
