Beit Iba, Sun 23.3.08, Morning
Beit Iba.08.45 There are few people and movement is not limited. The soldiers say there was great pressure in the morning. A young woman who works for an NGO and has come out of Nablus says that many students stayed in Nablus because they were scared there would be problems because of the "fast of the Jews". A truck driver wants to enter Nablus with a worker who has a permit only for Hawarra. The soldiers at first will not let him through but maybe because he is obstinate and maybe because we are there they let him through on condition that the truck is empty. They told the driver that he would not be able to take the truck out through Beit Iba without a permit but only from Hawarra and said he should see to getting the correct permits. ,_._,___
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.
