Wall
A 'wall' is a usually solid structure that defines and sometimes protects an area. Most commonly, a wall delineates a building and supports its superstructure, separates space in buildings into
rooms, or protects or delineates a space in the open air. There are three principal types of structural walls: building walls, exterior boundary walls, and retaining walls.

Israeli West Bank barrier
The Israeli West Bank barrier is a
separation barrier being constructed by
Israel consisting of a network of fences with vehicle-barrier trenches surrounded by an on average 60 meters wide exclusion area (90%) and up to 8 meters high concrete walls (10%). It is located mainly within the
West Bank, partly along the
1949 Armistice line, or "
Green Line" between Israel and
Jordan which now demarcates the West Bank. As of April 2006 the length of the barrier as approved by the Israeli government is 703 kilometers (436 miles) long. Approximately 58.04% has been constructed, 8.96% is under construction, and construction has not yet begun on 33% of the barrier. The
Jerusalem Post reported in
July,
2007 that the barrier may not be fully constructed until
2010, seven
years after it was originally supposed to be completed.
