Last week just after the army post there was another barrier. A body search was being conducted there. An elderly man and his son of 35 who had been called in by the GSS were sent back home and told that they had not been summoned.  Would they have come there otherwise? They went back to Hebron. The GSS phoned and asked why they had not come in. They were told that the GSS would phone the army post…..which they did not. They went back and the soldiers phoned the GSS and they were let through. If one can harass the Palestinians why not?

The waiting room was amazingly clean and most of the maps have been rehung. Interesting  that though there are no sign in the waiting room people go outside to smoke.

A man who had been working  untill four months ago , during all the time of the war in Kiryat Motzkin in a retirement home had  his permit taken from him  and had been called in for questioning. Maybe he would be able to get the permit back?

A man told us that he had a fund for helping Palestinians and that people contribute. Just that day one man had given him 200 shekel.
