Tulkarem. North West Bank ( Occupied Territories), Palestine. The Wall. The construction of Israel’s Separation Wall began on the 16th of June, 2002 to "protect" Israel from attacks emanating from either the West Bank or the Gaza Strip. Consists of a series of 8 - meter-high concrete slabs, trenches, barbed wire “buffer zones”, electrified fencing, numerous watch towers, thermal imaging video cameras, sniper towers and roads for patrol vehicles. The Apartheid Wall separates farmers from their lands, neighborhood from the rest of the village, people from hospitals, entire families and isolates them into ghettos provoking an ethnic cleansing.
