Nothing special on the way to Beit Iba and the checkpoint of Jit were empty and also at Dir Sharif there was little traffic.  At 14.50 we arrived at Beit Iba and a number of students came towards us. The checkpoint was quiet and looked as if it had even been cleaned up a bit. We did not bother to look for the white line and though there were many captains there  especially from the DCO with Raad at the head, Heiman and Tomer as well as Asam and Yoni and also were pleased to see us and there was no problem as to where we should be standing.

Few people entering because of the university vacation and those leaving were not checked.  There was no pressure of people entering and this was the case also with the cars. Tomar, a pleasant and polite young man, told us that whenever a new commander arrived he had to explain  all the orders. By the way  Raad told us that the DCO at Qalqiliya had passed to the Ayal checkpoint and we will see how this works.
Sarah spoke to Yonnie and told him that on Saturday at 8 in the evening on the 8th channel would be a movie…..1000 bullets" and he said he and his friends would try to watch this.

    • 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.

    • The checkpoint is located on Route 60 near at the junction with Route 55, near the village of Jit. There was a checkpoint for vehicles passing between the north and south of the West Bank, which was abolished towards 2010. Since then, surprise checkpoints have been set up there from time to time with a police or Border Police vehicle, and vehicles and their passengers are inspected.
