Many students at the entrance who have to show their IDs. One has lost this but he has a certified conformation that he can enter. Cars in both directions passed autmomatically.  At the checking area there is a device which calls the cars to come forward and after the check the traffic light changes from red to green so as to enable it to check. The checkpoint is as established as always.

    • 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.
