Isn't it illegal for Israeli citizens to enter the West Bank? [0] Would the same rules not apply for Gaza? [0] These signs are quite famous, but I know the rules on them are not always enforced - however I still assume they are being honest http://legalinsurrection.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Israel-West-Bank-Area-A-Warning-Sign.png http://legalinsurrection.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Isra...

It is illegal, but the sole reason is the risk for israelis. In 2000 or 2001 (I don't remember exactly) two soldiers took a wrong turn and got into a palestinian village by mistake; they were literally torn to pieces by an angry mob. If the risk would be gone, these rules would be gone too. Still, I have a couple of friends who travelled to the territories illegally, with help from their local friends — just for sightseeing. Personally, I think that they were being reckless and stupid, but it's certainly not unheard of.

It's illegal for Israeli citizens to enter zone A of the West Bank, which is a set of noncontiguous land masses within the West Bank. ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank_Areas_in_the_Oslo_II_Accord http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank_Areas_in_the_Oslo_II_...
