Al-Khadr, DCO Ezion, Beit Omar, El Arub, Monday, 26.09.05 PMObservers: Shlomit S., Noah A.I. (reporter)Al-KhadrNo soldiers present; the area where the taxis are usually parked, is unusually empty. The closure is felt and we have a place to park. There are numerous complaints about the magnetic cards that have not been renewed, because the GSS has prohibited it. (We have turned to Piras in this matter), as well as regarding lack of employment. One man asked to send his thanks to Chaya O. for her assistance. DC EzyonTwo windows are open. Only one is being manned, and we are told that every 20 minutes to half an hour, someone is let in. Most of the queries are regarding the magnetic cards. We began to call and to complain about this slow treatment and after some time, another window is manned and the intake increases.One man who takes his daughter (a baby with eye problems) to a private doctor in Jerusalem, asks what he can do in order that he won’t have to get a new entry permit every week and sometimes, twice a week. We called Dalia Basa and she told us that there is nothing that can be done until the closure is lifted. Then, we could try to ask that he receive a permit that would be good for a month, for instance.Many people had their license revoked by the GSS, overnight. These are people that have never been in jail, nor committed any offence. One man worked on a tractor in Bar-Ilan, another is an employee of Eged, etc. Is this a new phenomenon?Beit OmarNo soldiers.El-ArubOn the road to Beit Omar, near the pillbox of El-Arub, soldiers are asking passengers to disembark from their cars for permit and ID checks; they are standing with their rifles pointed at the “suspects” until the inspection is over. At the grocery store, they tell us that there were some arrests during the night. In Beit Hanun the soldiers ordered some people to lie down on the ground. We stood on the other side of the street and I took some photos. After two minutes the soldiers stopped what they were doing and disappeared into the pillbox.DC EzionWe returned in order to make sure that they have not stopped the work again. Only two persons remained in queue.
