08.10 We arrive at the checkpost (Hahaviot) to see one taxi being checked with a dog handler.  Most of the cars crossing in the direction of Nablus are not stopped

At one point, a car is stopped and a line immediately develops.  This is a car with yellow (Israeli) plates and it is turned around and made to go back.  Apart from this incident traffic seems to flow smoothly.

    • 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.
