Abu Dis, Al Jib (Givat Zeev)
Jib checkpoint
Relative to previous times, fewer were crossing today, both pedestrians and vehicles.
Pedestrian crossing was fast, almost everyone passed the turnstile without standing in line. No one, as far as we saw, was turned back.
The pace of vehicular crossing was different. The person in charge of the booth was absorbed in his own business and did not always notice the cars. Crossing was sometimes fast without checking, and sometimes the checking of cars and documents was very thorough.
All in all, it was "a good day".
Abu Dis / Lazarus gate (formerly The Wicket)

Abu Dis / Lazarus Checkpoint/Gate (east of the former “wicket”)
Construction of the wall in the Abu Dis area blocked all the gaps that allowed people to cross from al-Ezariya to the neighbourhoods of Abu Dis and Ras al 'Amud that are located within Jerusalem’s municipal boundary. The Lazarus checkpoint is a gate in the wall adjacent to the Lazarus Monastery. Until 2011 it had a door for pilgrims to al-Ezariya and for the monastery’s kindergarten pupils from al-Ezariya. The crossing is currently closed, but the site has infrastructure for conducting inspections.
