Restrictions of movement: 104

The Israeli Occupation’s military restrictions on Palestinian freedom covered by this category include:

• Checkpoints at the entrances to towns and villages to prevent people entering or leaving.


• Interference with people attempting to move around towns and villages.


• Cement blocks and barbed wire on roads.


• Rubble on roads.


• Farmers prohibited from going onto their land to work it.


• Road closures to isolate areas in which the Israeli Army considers the presence of Palestinians to be ‘illegal’.


• Yasser Arafat International Airport is permanently closed and Palestinians needing to enter or leave Palestine can do so only with Israeli permission.


• Interference with access to mosques and freedom of worship.


• Wall Gates. The gates in Israel’s annexation Wall, which restrict Palestinian access to their land on both sides.


• Curfews. Anyone appearing in the street or at a window is liable to be shot dead.


• Israel enforces many of the above restrictions with the threat, or actual use, of military action as well as personal physical assault. Thus, Palestinians are faced with an all-pervasive and constant state of Israeli violence towards them.

Violations:

Hebron – Israeli Occupation forces continue to enforce a military order prohibiting Palestinian vehicles from using Shalala Old Street and allowing only Israeli civilian and military vehicles on the road.
