The constuction at the checkpoint continues. They put two up two magnometers and two turnstiles, got rid of the shed in which they had been checking pedestrians and put up a shed for inspection of women.
Very few vehicles, also not many pedestrians; no lines.
A DCO representative was there.
No checkpoint at 'Ain Bidan.
Checkpoint 408, next to Asira-a-Samaliyyah has been closed for almost a month, also for ambulances, and they must make a roundabout route through 'Ain Bidan.
J'it Junction
The taxi drivers say that, in the last few days, there were checkpoints at the Junction. Today there are no soldiers there.
Next to the building of the illegal outpost, Shvut Ami, next to Kedumim, which was erected 2 months ago, and was declared evacuated by the IDF, we saw a parked car, which means that there are people in the building, which is still standing. What kind of game is this, and who is throwing sand in our eyes?
Beit Iba
See all reports for this place-
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.
