These means, which are part of a single, coordinated control mechanism, include the following: -- Physical obstructions - dirt mounds, concrete blocks, boulders, fences, trenches, and iron gates, totaling 455 at the present time; -- Fixed checkpoints - 82 fixed checkpoints, 34 of them controlling the entry of Palestinians into Israel, and the others controlling Palestinian movement inside the West Bank; -- A comprehensive report on the restrictions Israel has imposed on Palestinian travel in the West Bank since the beginning of the second Intifada (uprising). --MORE www.spa.gov.sa/473375
