    1. The paved road from Shavei Shomron is already open till the Deir Sharaf road – money flows like water.

Passage through the checkpoint is relaxed, without detainees. The soldiers did not want us to come closer and ‘requested’ that we stand behind the concrete blocks. We were there about half an hour in a seemingly pastoral atmosphere.  Only the poor passengers are never sure they will manage to pass through easily.  Today they were in luck.

    • 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.
