International law permits restricting freedom of movement for security reasons in occupied territories, but such measures must be temporary, necessary, and proportional. However, restrictions used as a pretext for creating public disorder, or to inflict collective punishment, are illegal. An occupying power has a duty to maintain public order, but it cannot do so in a way that is discriminatory, goes beyond what is necessary for security, or is intended to suppress the local population.
Based on careful monitoring, public disorder is created by the Israeli occupying belligerent, colonizing terrorists, or colonizing terrorists assisting the Israeli occupying belligerent, or the latter is actively supporting the colonizing terrorists. Therefore, checkpoints, metal barriers, and thrown-up sand mounds constitute collective punishment targeting the freedom of movement of the occupied people who are not the creators of public disorder. The deprivation in the freedom of movement is to suppress the occupied people.
