Falamiya North 914 - late opening of the checkpoint

Place: Falamiya North (914)
Tags: Delay in opening the checkpoint
Observers: Nina S., Herziliya A. Translator: Judith Green
Dec-05-2019
| Afternoon

Opening hours:  16:30-17:00

16:00 – We came early.  On the other side of the gate, we see a tractor waiting. The occupants seem to be under the shed next to the checkpoint.  We decided to wait for the soldiers, and meanwhile, rain began to fall.

16:35 – The soldiers arrived and opened the gate.  2 bicycles ride past us, one after the other, and one tractor behind them.  No other people went through.  Probably they went home earlier, during the afternoon hours of the checkpoint, or perhaps they didn’t go out at all, being afraid of the rain.  There aren’t many places to take cover in the olive groves or the fields of za’atar.

16:55 – We went home.
