We didn't leave the car, but stood for a while and saw that traffic was moving smoothly. As Nadim turned the car to leave, the soldiers called us to come towards them. They asked who we were and didn't seem very familiar with Machsom Watch. We had to explain to them what we were doing. At some point they realized who we were; the parting was friendly.
