Israeli West Bank Checkpoints Qalandiya

Palestinians cross Qalandiya checkpoint, south of Ramallah, West Bank, on May 17, 2019, on their way to perform the second Friday Prayer of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, at the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Israeli authorities are introducing biometric border crossing systems at West Bank checkpoints, thus minimizing the interaction between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians crossing into Israel.
