Two soldiers were sitting in the yard. In the opposite direction, half way up the hill a few people were passing where a wall is partially completed. At the pishpash there are no soldiers and there is a constant flow of people to Jerusalem. Zeitim CP – We parked , where we went through to the other side. When we wanted to return, we were stopped. We had to explain several times that we had a car in the parking area. Finally we were allowed to return, but admonished not to go through again. One person went through while we were there.The Container -Many taxis are parked to the side when we arrive, their ID’s being checked. After 15 minutes all are released, except one taxi driver. We ask about him and are told that he didn’t stop when he was told to. After one hour we left, and he was still waiting. The soldiers checked the traffic in both directions consistantly. Abu-Dis DCO -We met E. there who was very friendly. He said, although the DCO opens at 8:30 am, the people generally come about 10:00 am to inquire.
