Huwwara, Beit Furik, Zaatra-Tapuach junction, 28.6.06 AMNina S., Hanna A. (reportinmg)7.44 – Main entrance to Marda is blocked by an iron gate. There is a military vehicle standing across the road and next to him soldiers. A cab is waiting, looks like he is waiting for passengers who can leave the village on foot.7.48 Zaatra- Tapuach junction7 cars are waiting in line from the west. No passage for Nablus citizens aged 18-25.7 cars in line from the north, 2 checking stations, later a third one is opened. To our question “is there limited passage” the answer was “to every one who is a danger to the security of Israel”.Some of the cars are checked by a dog, their passengers have to disembark and stand at great distance from the car. Their entire luggage is taken out and left on the ground and some pieces are opened.We timed passage of busses – about 10-15 minutes.By the time we left the line has disappeared.The entrance to Beitha is open.At the junction of roads 60 and 57 the CP is deserted. Same on the way back.8.37 – HuwwaraThere are 4 cab drivers in the detainee enclosure. We have met them before. They claim to have been detained for 1½ hours and were told they will stay there till evening. They were released at 9 am after they received an educational talk. The drivers said they heard the soldiers having a bet who will catch more drivers. In short the game of ‘catch the driver passing the line’ continues routinely according to a pre know chronicle.Another occurrence that repeated itself today was, that IDs were placed in soldier’s pockets instead of in a pre arranged box.At 9.05 a guy arrives and tells us his brother informed him he was stopped at the CP and taken somewhere. He is asking for help, as his brother has their father’s medical documents. While we talk the ‘lost’ brother arrives, something seemed wrong in his ID but he is ‘clean’.About the same time the soldiers stopped another perso,n who came upin their wanted list. He was taken to the back cubicle, his eyes were covered by a cloth. Our checking with the humanitarian centre discovered this is according to the brigade commander’s orders and has been confirmed by the legal adviser of the area. A person may be detained for questioning while he is kept in a sheltered place, has access to water, is guarded and his eyes may be covered.10.13 – 2 guys are sent back to Nablus, we could not determine why.10.25 – We left.9.35 – Beit FurikCitizens of Jenin and the Jordan valley may not pass through this CP. As always there is little passage, at this time, on Wednesdays. The CP was apparently open all night though usually it opens at 5 am.10.40 Za’atara– one cab waiting from the north, but now cars going north are checked too.At Marda the entrance is still closed. Along the fence separating the village land from the road there is an opening and pedestrians are exiting. There is another exit further west that has an open gate but an army vehicle is stationed there and stops cars from passing.
