Traffic is flowing  two ways.  Cars with
yellow license plates (Israelis, Palestinians) are detained and cannot pass
through, they are only allowed into Nablus
on Shabbat unless they have a special permit.  We stood there for 10
minutes and observed no change in the functioning of the checkpoint.

    • Deir Sharaf checkpoint is located west of Nablus and south of the settlement of Shavei Shomron, at the entrance to the village of Deir Sharaf on the road leading to Nablus. The checkpoint was activated in early March 2009 after the Beit Iba checkpoint was closed. Palestinians are allowed through the checkpoint , but not for Israelis. Unlike the checkpoints leading to Qalqilya and Tulkarm, crossing of Israeli Palestinians is only allowed on Saturdays.
