Deir Sharaf, Qalqiliya, Mon 1.6.09, Afternoon
14:20 – A few cars waiting at the entrance, pass through quickly.
The building opposite the pink house next to Qadum is empty, though youths are milling around at the base of the hill. In general, a lot of settler youths are visible on the road at the entrance to Qedumim. Is this connected to the events at Alon Moreh and Yizhar?
Deir Sharaf (Barrels) checkpoint
Quite filthy stench rises from the trench at the side of the road. Two booths are the checkpoint are manned, but vehicles are going through freely, with no inspection, in both directions.

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.

Qalqiliya checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
