West Bank Town Becomes 'Big Prison' as Israel Fences It In

On May 5, 2025, Israeli forces erected a five-metre-high metal fence around Sinjil, an occupied West Bank town, sealing all but one access route.
The fence aims to protect the Ramallah-Nablus highway from stone-throwing and disturbances amid increased military presence after the October 2023 Gaza war.
Sinjil’s 8,000 residents are confined to about 10 acres, cut off from 2,000 acres of privately owned farmland, and face severe travel delays and economic disruption.
Last month, Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa stated that efforts are being made to severely worsen the living conditions for the Palestinian population, highlighting the challenges they face.
This barrier exemplifies a broader policy escalating restrictions in the West Bank, heightening siege-like conditions that Palestinian officials warn could fuel further conflict.
