14:45 – Our car approaches the Barrels checkpoint before Deir Sharaf and the stench from the polluted water running in the channel at the side of the road greets us from afar.  A hot summer day.  The soldiers are sitting within their cell at the side of the road, and the vehicles go through with no delay in both directions.  A bus which comes from the direction of Nablus also passes by with no inspection.

    • 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.
