Deir Sharaf, Tue 28.4.09, Morning
7:00-7:30 No workers
waiting at the Eliyahu Gate on our way; the quarantine has already begun.
Israeli flags are already waving at the entrances to the settlements.
And, as usual, the feeling that our holiday is a hard day for them.
The commander of the barrels
checkpoint receives us nicely and even offers us a drink which we politely
refuse. Traffic is light and people go through almost freely;
there’s an occasional inspection and passengers are asked to show
IDs. The inspection is usually over in a few minutes. No
lines of vehicles form. We stood there half an hour and drove
on.
Deir Sharaf checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
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.
