On Sunday, September 15, 2024, a Palestinian man was seen climbing the separation wall in the town of al-Ram in an attempt to illegally cross into Jerusalem. This was captured in a photo by Mahmoud Illean for the Associated Press.
In another photo taken by Illean on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, a section of the separation barrier near the West Bank city of Dhahiriya is shown, with a warning sign that reads “anyone who attempts to break through the barrier will put their life in danger.”
Tragically, on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, mourners in the West Bank town of Shuweika carried the body of Sameer A’mar, 55, during his funeral. A’mar was shot and killed by Israeli forces near the separation barrier, according to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency.
These events highlight the ongoing tensions and violence surrounding the separation barrier, which has been a source of conflict between Israel and Palestine.
