Cliff Hotel
Abu Dis, Wadi Nar (Container) Tues. 23.08.05 p.m.Observers; Julia W., Rina H., Rahel W. (reporting)Very hot, dry day. Several soldiers at former pishpash. Few people climbing over, but all being checked. More soldiers down the road at the hole in the fence crossing. No sign of soldiers and/or border police at the Cliff Hotel. Also, no apparent changes there for months.Very few vehicles on the road as we travelled down from the monastery to the Container, and very, very few vehicles of any kind at the Container. A large contingent of soldiers — about 14, mostly huddled under the roof to stay out of the sun. One pickup truck not allowed through — otherwise everyone passed. Some workers returning on foot said that the situation was much improved with military police manning the checkpoint instead of the border police.Very quiet, uneventful shift.
