Anas Hattab Leads 350,000 Palestinians on Route Exploration
Ones Hattab is the founder of the "Aḥwāl al-ṭuruq" (Road Conditions) group on Telegram, which is relied upon by around 350,000 Palestinians in the West Bank to avoid obstacles and closed roads caused by Israeli military checkpoints. Due to the limited capabilities of global mapping applications in dealing with over 942 checkpoints and obstacle gates, Hattab utilizes his expertise in collecting and documenting field information about the state of roads and barriers. This helps drivers avoid delays and potential dangers. Since launching the group in 2019, Hattab has transformed it into a vital service that relies on volunteer contributions and field documentation to address the lack of official data—especially as occupation restrictions have increased. His efforts have significantly reduced travel times, provided reliable information, and saved many lives. Hattab works tirelessly to document and update the status of checkpoints and crossings, facing challenges from occupation forces, and volunteers to ensure the safety and facilitate the movement of Palestinians amid complex security conditions.
