Israeli separation wall and checkpoints in the occupied West Bank
Since 2002, Israel has been constructing a wall that stretches for more than 700km (435 miles), cutting deep into Palestinian territory. Israel has also constructed hundreds of road obstacles and checkpoints, severely limiting Palestinian freedom of movement.
While Palestinians may have to wait for hours at these checkpoints and travel along segregated road networks, Israelis can travel freely on their own “bypass roads” which have been built on Palestinian land to connect illegal Israeli settlements to major metropolitan areas inside Israel.

Stop forcible transfer of Palestinian herding communities: UN
The UN Human Rights Office denounced ongoing Israeli settler attacks and harassment of the community of al-Muarrajat, one of the last two remaining Palestinian Bedouin communities between Ramallah and Jericho.
The attacks, the OHCHR said, are being perpetrated with the complicity of Israeli forces. It cited an incident yesterday where Israeli settlers attacked the primary school in al-Muarrajat and nearby homes for hours.
“They assaulted teachers, pupils, and activists present in the village as protective presence with sticks and iron bars. Nine Palestinians were injured during the attack, including three Palestinian women who sustained hairline fractures, four women teachers and a foreign activist,” OHCHR said.
It also said when Israeli forces arrived, instead of stopping the attack, they arrested the school principal and another community member.
“These assaults are taking place within a concerted attack on the community, calculated to force them to leave their land and homes. The attack on al-Muarrajat community follows the recent forcible displacement of other tens of long-standing Bedouin communities from the Jordan Valley.”
More than 1,600 Palestinians from herding and farming communities have been forced to leave their homes since October 7 following settler violence and systematic restrictions on access to water, grazing land and basic needs, with the collusion of Israeli authorities, it said.
