  • A Israel Defense Forces checkpoint, usually called an Israeli checkpoint (, machsom, , hajez), is a barrier erected by the Israel Defense Forces with the stated aim of enhancing the security of Israel and Israeli settlements and preventing those who wish to do harm from crossing. Most of the checkpoints in the West Bank are located throughout the West Bank. Since the 1990s, and especially since the violence associated with the Second Intifada, Israel has created hundreds of permanent roadblocks and checkpoints staffed by Israeli Military or border police. However, according to the IDF, in the central region covering the West Bank areas of Judea and Samaria, there are only 12 checkpoints. In September 2011, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said there were 522 roadblocks and checkpoints obstructing Palestinian movement in the West Bank, up from 503 in July 2010. That number does not include the temporary checkpoints known as "flying checkpoints," of which there were 495 on average per month in the West Bank in 2011, up from 351 on average per month in the previous two years. IDF checkpoints may be staffed by the Israeli Military Police, the Israel Border Police, or other soldiers. In July 2013, the Israel Defense Forces is reportedly preparing to remove checkpoints within the West Bank as part of a goodwill gesture ahead of the anticipated peace talks between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government.
