Beit Iba, 9:00 –
Complaints by the porters who transport
goods through the checkpoint with their carts. They can't bring
merchandise through if there's no dog available to check it (a new
restriction). At the checkpoint it turned out that food could go through
until 10 AM. The dog arrives at 10, and then goods can go through.
Nevertheless, the DCO officer himself examined and released goods
belonging to a woman who had already gone through the checkpoint. We
asked why the dog can't arrive in the morning. The officer said they'll
recommend it.

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.
