West Bank Palestinians Enter Israel through Gaps in Security Barrier
(Maan News-PA) Thousands of Palestinian workers regularly cross through a valley in al-Walaja and climb up a mountain to reach Jerusalem in about an hour, without encountering a single sign that marked a border. Having no legal work permit, they cross from the West Bank into Israel through one of many large gaps in the security barrier. According to the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the separation wall has reduced Palestinian attacks in Israel by 90%, yet after ten years of construction, only 62% of the barrier has been completed.
