8.30-9.15    Beit Iba 

Five vehicles in line to enter Nablus (waiting-time about 10 minutes).  The shed of those waiting to enter was full.  The soldiers spot-checked ID’s of those entering; women entered without checking.  The detainees’ shed was empty.  A truck driver was made to tear open the packages he was transporting.  A man carrying a computer got stuck in the narrow carousel exiting Nablus.

8.50    As the pressure decreased slightly the soldiers decided to begin checking ID’s against the list.

 9.10  A dog-handler arrived at the checkpoint, but no dog was visible.
