6.50 Few workers at the Eliyahu crossing.

6.52 Zofin. Little traffic.

7.30 Checkpoint of Shavei Shomron is open.

7.50 Beit Iba. Those entering Nablus are not checked. 7 cars at the exit and the checking is slow but reasonable.  A  Palestinian UN vehicle is delayed at the side. 30 minutes as the soldiers say that they were cheeky to them.

8.30 We left the checkpoint.

    • 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.
