South Hebron, Wednesday morning, 16.11.05 Observers: Haya H. Dana L. (reports) 6.45 – 10/00We were told not to enter Hebron, so we followed the “usual” track. Not having been on this track for about three weeks, we were shocked to see all the additional means of “restraining” the Palestinians.Ramadin – Soldiers were checking thoroughly every vehicle, but detained no one, though they let a group of teachers wait quite a while for their turn to pass. Dura – El Pawar – opened for vehicles too. Near the roadblock there were many soldiers, but passing vehicles weren’t checked. Sheep Junction – opened only for pedestrians. No soldiers were observed. Rolling Checkpoint, between Shayuch and Kuriat arba – a thorough check-up of vehicles, but ! only two Palestinians were detained while their i.d.s were checked ( a random check-up). Israeli vehicles were allowed to pass freely Some Palestinians told us that the whole situation has deteriorated lately and asked us to report the fact. When we came back to the place ten minutes later, the whole “scene” “evaporated” – no rolling checkpoint, no soldiers and no Palestinians – an empty road… Shayuch – as usual, opened only to pedestrians. Sair – Halhul – the whole junction was completely blocked, as in a siege.. The Humanitarian Junction – soldiers checking every vehicle, but no one was detained while we were there. Zif – passage for vehicles blocked with boulders. Susia – Arad – no detained Palestinians. Road 60 – a lot of traffic. Road 356 – deserted, as usual.
