Eid-ul-Adha.  

There is hardly any traffic at
the roadblocks.

The reserve soldiers posted at
these roadblocks enjoy a day of work without pressure.  

At the exit from “The Te’enim
Gate”, which is also manned by reserve soldiers, we are delayed for
a moment. At first the soldier thinks that we are from the UN….When
we tell him who we are he says; “Much worse!” 

  • Qalqiliya checkpoint

    See all reports for this place
    • Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
