Beit Iba, Tuesday, 14.2.2006, PMObservers: Fathia A., Racheli B.A., Horit H.P., Hana C.Guests: Bat Zion G.I., Amit15.45 Everything as usual. People pass quickly but the cars take longer. Checking of belongings still takes place on the ground ( a photo included). No tables. Libi will not contribute because here it is not the welfare of the soldiers which is a consideration. 17.00 Road 60 at the right hand turning to Jit…a checkpoint with about 13 cars. Waiting time of about an hour. Drivers alight to show the ids of all. Grey and cold. After we cross the green line one of the visitors says “We live in a different country.”

    • 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.
