No pedestrians.  Reservists select who will be inspected.  A person who wanted to go through on foot to his job just past the checkpoint wasn’t allowed to do so.  One of the reservists admitted that it didn’t occur to him to let him through on foot.  Many Israeli vehicles at the entrance to Nablus.  Some installations at the checkpoint are already operating – metal booths, a shed, chairs for the soldiers, and armed soldiers supervise people going through 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.
