The vicinity of Bethlehem – Road 60 down to Nabi Yunes, Matak Ezion, December 5, AMWatchers: Haya O, Malka A, Ada G (reporting)A quiet watch with much paperwork.7.30 El Khadr As was the case last week the road is crowded and the cars travel slowly. Cars coming our of El Khadr had to wait until a Palestinian took the initiative and stopped the procession. The place screams for a traffic light. The jam on road 60 to Jerusalem from the South is reasonable. Maybe there was an accident at the entrance to the tunnel. 8.00 Checkpoint Ezyon The soldiers are checking the cars and the traffic streams along.8.15 El Arub Two army jeeps but no detainees.8.30 Beit Umar A jeep is hiding at the side of the road and the traffic passing.8.45 Nebi Yunus No particular problems. 09.15 DCO Ezyon About 30 people waiting some of whom need health permits and others documents of honesty or magnetic cards. As usual the soldier at the window does not write to explain to each one why he is refused and the police man keeps sending people home telling them to come back in another week. When we interfere more accurate explanations are given. We took information from some people about police files that they have, some of them illegals to be dealt with. It appears that there were files that have been closed already for two or three months but there are people who have no addresses and there is no way of letting them know. This is the reply we received from the police station. Strange then how the secret service can find people even in the smallest and furthest village. So there’s work for us!
