Beit Iba

07:50  Beit Iba:  ID cards are no longer being checked for people entering Nablus, and of course there’s no line at all.  Only people leaving are being checked at all the booths, quickly, and there’s no line at them either.  No detainees.  Cars also go through quickly and there’s almost no line.  Apparently it can be done.

08:05:  We left.

    • 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.
