Deir Sharaf, Mon 20.4.09, Morning
On arrival we see a bulldozer working
above the checkpoint (near Shavei Shomron) digging the new road which
is under contruction.
There is a dog handler checking cars
arriving from the direction of Nablus. Cars in the opposite direction
are not stopped. Those vehicles being stopped are random and unpredictable.
A bus goes through unchecked. On the other hand, a taxi is stopped
and checked by the dog handler (about 7 minutes).
We leave at 8.05.

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.
