NNA - The number of Israeli checkpoints and iron gates erected and installed by the occupation army in the West Bank has reached 898, sources confirmed.

The Director General of Publication and Documentation at the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Amir Daoud, stated during a phone call with WAFA today that out of the 898 military barriers and iron gates, 18 iron gates were installed by the occupation since the beginning of 2025.

He added that the last iron gate was the gate of the town of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, which the occupation army installed this morning, so that the final total of the number of checkpoints in all their types is 898, including 146 iron gates after October 7, 2023.

Daoud pointed out that the colonists, under the protection of the occupation army, carried out a series of attacks on Palestinian villages and towns, citizens' vehicles and their property, especially in eastern Qalqilya, which indicates that there is a functional exchange between them, to embitter the lives of Palestinians..

For the third consecutive day, the occupation forces tightened the military measures at most of the entrances and exits of the governorates in the West Bank.--WAFA
