Deir Sharaf (Barrels)

We arrived to the checkpoint at 0800 and stayed about 30 minutes.

There are very few cars in intervals. Both sides are open. The soldiers hardly check any of the cars but stop every single lorry for about one to two minutes, although these are asked to drive to the side so the queue is not affected. We asked one of the soldiers and he said that they have been asked to check all the lorries because of an alert.

    • 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.
