Explanatory notes follow.
The PA has complete control over all civilian administration, and its paramilitary police force is in charge of security. Note how close these areas come to Israel's main civilian centers, such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheba and Netanya. Joint Israel-PA patrols operate here. In practical terms, Israel has very little presence. All Jewish communities and Israeli military bases are also part of Area C, as enclaves.
