Hawwara, Beit Furik, Wednesday, 21/9/05, AMWatchers: Ilana H. Hanna A. (reporting) Nina S. (translated)Generally: A routine morning of occupation. New routes are carving the olive groves and soldiers “doing” their job.Opposite the entrance to Ariel we saw what looks like a new road being carved into the olive groves. It turns north east. Where is it supposed to lead to? (Is it a new route for the fence)?7.55 Tapuach junction – traffic in all directions moves fast. There too the ground is continually being flattened and changed. Taxi drivers tell us that Tapuch settlers give trouble to those driving on the road to Salfit and Iskaka.8.20 Huwarra -There are 3 soldiers at the turnstile area. Next to the detainee enclosure there are 2 young women. We thought for a moment they were detained, but it turned out they were waiting. No detainees during our watch.Youngsters entering Nablus are intermittently checked. A soldier asks one where he is from, and when answered he says”Beita, that’s trouble makers!”In the queue for cars leaving Nablus a bus is being checked for 20 minutes. The passengers disembark; their baggage is checked one by one. We asked the CP commander to open a second queue, which he does.One old woman feels badly. She is on her way out. A soldier gets her a chair, we offer water and Nina Stops a lift for her to the other end of the CP. What about a medic for the Humanitarian Point? This was a case which maybe needed medical attention, but there is none. Later a guy, after an operation, “crawls” through the CP, His hands marked with infusion signs. How will he pass the long way between one end to the other (about 300 meters or more)? He leans on the wall bordering the road and waits till one of his escort’s returns with a cab. At least the army allowed her to do so. The DCO rep. asks them to give a lift to a very old lady that just arrived.9.15 Beit Furik -Little passage, yawning soldiers (‘I am bored’ says the girl soldier to me. ‘She is about to cut her vein’s says the commander). They say they opened the CP at 5.30. Later the taxi drivers say it was opened at 6 AM. They complain about late opening hours and closures during midday…On the path to the Turnstiles there are big stones. That is how the soldiers mark the line, up to which passers may come before queuing to be checked. And when there is no queue? They have to be careful not to trip over them.9.50 – We are back at Huwarra. The soldiers turn their backs to those arriving and do not notice there is a queue, People just collect and wait.The boulders, stolen?, confiscated?, expropriated?, from the quarry owner, are still lying along the roadside to prevent parking.We left at 10.50.Just south of the CP there are Border police standing on the road facing the traffic into Nablus. We did not see them stop anybody.
