15.30    Half the road is blocked so that traffic is in one direction only.  This obviously slows movement towards the checkpoint.  Soldiers are present but we did not see them checking vehicles.
The writing on the sign that says the road leads to Area A is covered by another saying "notice of vacating in the near future.  Contact no. ….. ."  No one bothers to remove 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.
