The afternoon soldiers, who knew nothing of what had happened in the morning, let them through to Barta’a.An Israeli policeman who was present at the CP complained to L. about a girl MP from the morning shift who behaved in a rigid and arrogant manner. L. said she would take care of this matter.A man who tried to pass through in the morning with Xeroxed papers (not the originals) was still standing/sitting in the shadow, handcuffed, waiting to be taken into custody by a police car. It was 4.5 hours when we left and the police car still had not arrived. The vehicle line from the territories into Barta’a was long, and cars were checked thoroughly.
