Israel begins West Bank separation barrier construction
Israel begins West Bank separation barrier construction. This event belongs in the Israel-Palestine long-horizon chronology because it marks a discrete action, decision, attack, legal ruling, diplomatic move, or accountability moment around movement and land control. The record should be sourced as a singular event and kept separate from broader background explainers.
