15:00   Barrels checkpoint (Deir Sharaf), next to Shavei Shomron – light vehicular traffic.  Most go through without inspection.  From time to time the soldiers stop a vehicle for inspection and in a short time it continues on its way.

There's a heavy flow of sewage from Nablus through the valley next to the checkpoint and the stench is unbearable.

    • 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.
