Morning
On our way, we saw detainess at the corner of Nevi’im street and the 78 street, and on the road to Abu Dis, a BP jeep checking transits.Abu Dis: Near the gas station, 19 detainees were standing in front of the wall. BP soldiers were checking IDs. These were quickly returned, but most of the people were sent back to the Palestinian side. At the gate passage: 3 BP soldiers checking IDs. Four detainees. After 15 minutes, three of them were released. The fourth was suspected of having a fake Israeli ID. After a while, he managed to just walk away, back to the Palestinian side. The angry soldiers tried in vain to find him. They threatened to beat him badly if they find him. An Italian priest told us that yesterday 4 teargas cannisters were tossed into the children hospital near the convent, and then soldiers entered the place. When he complained that soldiers do not have the right to enter a place of the Vatican, they left. Near the wall three BP jeeps, and many soldiers around. Two transits that carried passengers without valid permits were taken to a police station. Detainees were bodily searched violently, beating them with the rifle to have them stand in the right position.
