The way to Qalqiliya is no different than on other days. Azzun is open to the road but fenced in threateningly by barber wire from all sides .On the hill opposite Qedumim there is a lone house in isolation and opposite an unclear vision of a tent without people. The stench sends us to the checkpoint at Deir Sharaf. Cars pass without stopping. At the side of the post a police car stands without employment. We rushed off because of the stench.

    • 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.
