As most of the Tel Aviv inhabitants ignore the separation fence that pass in the West of the Palestinian areas - robbing additional lands in the name of "security, we decided to bring them the flavor of it. As the original site was found to be infested by undercover detectives, the original point in the Shenkin street at down town was replaced with Bazel/Bin Nun intersection (not far from the Egyptian embassy). At noon, after aborted action in the original point about 15 activists of the Anarchists Against The Wall initiative regrouped to the new location. At the alternative time and place (not far from the police station), two spools of barbed wire were stretched and chained to poles of road signs on the two sides of the street - blocking the traffic. warning signs confiscated from the separation fence at Bil'in were hanged on the new fence.

Lot of leaflets were put around the new fence reminding people about occupation and harassment of the Palestinians only 23 kilometers to the East (the road blocks and the fence are significant part in it). After few minutes, one of the drivers trapped in the road block cut the barbed wire spool from one of the poles and dragged it to the other pole - enable the travel. It took about 30 minutes till two policeman on a motor bikes to arrive at the site and some time more to remove the barbed wire spools and the warning signs.
