Deir Sharaf, Wed 3.6.09, Afternoon
We arrived to the checkpoint at 15:30 and stayed about 5 minutes.
There were very few cars going through. The soldiers were not checking any of the cars.
A new road is under construction just before the checkpoint on the left but it is not clear where it is leading to or what is its purpose.
On the way to Deir Sharaf, we passed the house on the hill near Kdumim and it was empty.

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.
