Military sites, closed military areas, and nature reserves
Throughout Israel's occupation of the West Bank it used the designation of military sites, closed military areas, and nature reserves to keep large stretches of land off-limits to Palestinians. Reviewing the map one can conclude that the nature reserves and the military closed areas overlap in some areas.

Bypass roads
Building settlements is usually compounded by construction of a series of bypass roads. These are built for the use of Israeli settlers, to link between their settlements and with Israel; and to bypass with Palestinians communities.
The construction of by-pass roads commonly occurs along the perimeter of Palestinian built-up areas. A 75-m 'safety zone' on each side of these roads restricts Palestinians from any type of construction activity. These practices have fragmented both land and people. This situation is very serious within the major cities of the West Bank where by-pass roads form boundaries that limit the expansion and development of the Palestinian communities, and further disconnect Palestinian communities from each other.
As a result, by pass roads consume about 165 meters wide for each one. If it is multiplied by the linear meters of the total by pass roads which is 323.2 km, the total confiscated land for by pass roads reaches to 53.3 km2 which represents about 1% of the total area of the West Bank.
