This bears mentioning:
“It’s working and it has proved its purpose every day,” Lieutenant Colonel Shai Brovendeer says, lauding the efficiency of the barrier Israel is building in the West Bank to prevent Palestinian attacks.
During a guided tour of the barrier in the northern West Bank, Brovendeer is striving to present to foreign journalists what Palestinians have dubbed the “Apartheid wall” in the most favourable light.
Since Israel started erecting its controversial barrier in June 2002, 230km have been completed, essentially in the northern West Bank.
The last suicide attack to have hit Israel took place in October 2003 when a female suicide bomber blew herself up in a Haifa restaurant owned by Jewish and Arab families, killing 21 other people.
Brovendeer stresses that the northern section of the barrier was not completed then and that the bomber was able to cross into Israel by going south.

Incorrect. She crossed through the fence at a crossing point. As she had an Israeli ID and was in a car with Israeli plates this wasn’t a problem.
