Abu Dis Wall
A flock of birds fly past the eight-meter-high concrete separation wall in Abu Dis. Israel began building the current form of concrete slabs of separation barriers since 2003 to protect Israeli citizens from terrorists attacks such as suicide bombings. On February 18, 2004, The International Committee of the Red Cross stated that the Israeli barrier "causes serious humanitarian and legal problems" and goes "far beyond what is permissible for an occupying power".
