| Afternoon


15:30 – Two soldiers are standing at each of the stations on either side of the road..  There is a lot of traffic and the vehicles are driving quickly.  Only very large vehicles are made to slow down where there are barriers places which make the road more narrow.  When we arrived, the soldiers stopped a car with three women in it.  The women got out of the car and presented their papers.  After 5 minutes they were allowed to continue on their way.  From time to time, the soldiers stopped cars in a random manner and asked to see papers.  We didn't see any delays beyond this.

    • Deir Sharaf checkpoint is located west of Nablus and south of the settlement of Shavei Shomron, at the entrance to the village of Deir Sharaf on the road leading to Nablus. The checkpoint was activated in early March 2009 after the Beit Iba checkpoint was closed. Palestinians are allowed through the checkpoint , but not for Israelis. Unlike the checkpoints leading to Qalqilya and Tulkarm, crossing of Israeli Palestinians is only allowed on Saturdays.
