‘Ha-haviot’ [barrels] checkpoint

15.50  checkpoint before Deir-Sharaf

This is the new checkpoint in Deir Sharaf.  Of course we could not
visit the village –‘entry prohibited’ – but we saw that there is a new road
being laid on the lands of the village so that it will be possible to reach Shave Shomron further away from the checkpoint.  What they don’t do for the
sake of the settlers at the Palestinians’ expense.  Incidentally, in
conversation with Zachariah, this problem arose.

The traffic flowed, apart from 2 cars waiting for checking.  According
to the commander, this is a ‘random’ check.

We continued on our way.

    • 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.
