Israeli Checkpoint - Flying Checkpoints

Flying Checkpoints

According to the Palestinian Environmental NGOs Network member Applied Research Institute—Jerusalem (ARIJ), the Israeli military established 121 flying checkpoints in the West Bank and East Jerusalem between October 2006 until April 2007. Their study claimed that most of the flying checkpoints were located in the northern part of the West Bank; in particular, the Nablus Governorate, Tubas Governorate and Jenin Governorate and that Palestinians attempting to cross flying checkpoints could wait anywhere between 20 and 90 minutes, and in some cases, longer.
