See 4 June 2003 report by EA Marja from Sweden on "Jayyous - a village split in two by a security wall"
In June 2002 Israel began erecting a so-called separation barrier between Israel and the West Bank. The barrier does not follow the 1949 armistice line, the so-called Green Line, which constitutes the unofficial border between Israel and the West Bank. Instead, in most places the barrier runs or will run deep inside the West Bank – in some cases up to six kilometers east of the Green Line. |
