Israel's controversial security barrier, ostensibly constructed to prevent suicide bombers from entering Israel, is considered illegal under international law and strongly condemned by global opinion. In places it is eight metres high with watchtowers, in other areas it consists of a complex network of electrified fence and military roads. This barrier has considerable humanitarian and economic implications, forcibly annexing vast tracts of Palestinian territory and its increasingly important agricultural land and water supplies. It also bisects or encircles Palestinian communities, severely limiting freedom of movement and effectively reducing some Palestinian towns and villages to ghettos.
