IDF HAS REMOVED MOST WEST BANK ROADBLOCKS

IDF Has Removed Most West Bank Roadblocks (Jerusalem Post)
In the past year, Israel has dismantled most of the roadblocks and temporary barriers in the West Bank, a senior officer in the IDF's Central Command said Tuesday.

"In most of the area, Palestinian traffic is flowing and there is an improvement in the economy," he said, adding that the remaining roadblocks were "critical for security needs."

Israel Radio quoted the officer as saying the IDF was continuing its surveillance of Fatah terrorists who relinquished their weapons in exchange for Israeli amnesty and that many of them had indeed ceased their terrorist activities.

According to the officer, PA security forces are not targeting Hamas terrorists in the West Bank - as per Israel's request - but are focusing solely on Hamas-affiliated institutions such as charities and summer camps.
