Summary:
Lately the settlers of Kedumiem have been throwing stones on Palestinian cars.
Today there were no limitations of movement.

Beit Iba. 9.05 -10.20

Most of the time there was no line of cars in either direction because the checking was swift. Today there was also a dog trainer who checked randomly. This has been the case in the last months because of the difficulties of getting permits for cars without which one cannot go into or exit Nablus. Those entering Nablus are not checked but at the exit the checking is long and nerve wracking. Men have to go through the magnometer and to strips everything , sometimes even their shoes and it is bitterly cold. Luckily in the morning few are leaving Nablus so there is no long line.

At Anabta residents of Jenin  even those between 18-35 are allowed to pass. To our surprise at Beit Iba there were no limitations. What is the thinking behind all this.

At Anabta we saw a car with a smashed windscreen which had been broken the previous night by stones thrown by the settlers of Kedumiem. A police car came along and they reported this but the police said there was nothing they could do and did not even make a note of the incident. We told them to report the matter to Yesh Din. Two weeks ago we had come across the same incident and at Qalqiliya a driver said he had also had stones thrown at him in the same area. Yehudiet A. from Yesh Din said that there had been numerous reports but that was about the settlers at Havat Gilad and Svut Alon  which are both illegal settlements.

      The checkpoint is located south of the village of 'Anabta, at the intersection of Road 60 (leading to Nablus at the entrance to Area A), with Road (57, 557, 5576) facing west towards the Einav settlement and the checkpoint at the exit from the West Bank - Figs checkpoint. Until 2010 we used to watch the intersection and report the long columns created due to a slow inspection of the vehicles in both directions.

    • A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank. From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.
