Qalqiliya checkpoint, Tuesday 11.9.07 AMObservers: Judy D, Tom S, Elinoar B (reporting) 06:45-07:00 – Wonders will never cease. Like most soldiers in all the checkpoints today the border police here are very polite, the policewoman even going as far as offering us some water. The checks are fast, no lines form. Only the knowledge that tomorrow the closure begins spoils the day. The usual holiday present to the Palestinians.
Qalqiliya checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
