Israeli military checkpoints, gates, and barriers across the West Bank have expanded to 942, according to updated data from the Anti-Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Shehab Wire reported. The organization characterized the expansion as a reshaping of the geographic landscape in the occupied territory.
The proliferation of barriers represents an intensification of movement restrictions on Palestinians across the West Bank, fragmenting the territory further through military infrastructure.
