(reporting)Qalqiliya06:30-06:40 The checkpoint is manned, but vehicles and pedestrians pass freely, no queues.Azun06:55-07:10 At the entrance to the village on Rd.55 we spot military vehicles and soldiers. The soldiers, reservists, who say thery are there because they were ordered to be there by the “vertices” (a vertex is army lingo for the command). Another vehicle arrives, including a major, who claims this is just a “check”, not a checkpoint. Why has this particular village been chosen for almost daily “checks”, he refuses to tell us. As we speak, the soldiers pack up and leave. Jit junctionThe roadblock is not manned.

The checkpoint is located on Route 60 near at the junction with Route 55, near the village of Jit. There was a checkpoint for vehicles passing between the north and south of the West Bank, which was abolished towards 2010. Since then, surprise checkpoints have been set up there from time to time with a police or Border Police vehicle, and vehicles and their passengers are inspected.
