Za’tara (Tapuah), Thu 8.11.07, Afternoon
Place:
Za'tara (Tapuah)
Observers: Smadar H., 2 guests, and Deborah L. (reporting)
There was a line of over 30 vehicles from the west.
The soldiers said this is the way it is every Thursday night when Palestinian workers return from working in Israel. The wait seemed to be at least a half hour. The soldiers had 3 checking stations open and they checked IDs and occasionally the vehicles as well.
There were only a few vehicles on line from the north.

Za'tara (Tapuah) Za'tara is an internal checkpoint in the heart of the West Bank, at the intersection of Road 60 and Road 505 (Trans-Samaria), east of the Tapuah settlement. This checkpoint is the "border" marked by the IDF between the north and south of the West Bank, in accordance with the policy of separation between the two parts of the West Bank that has been in place since December 2005. At the Za'tara checkpoint, there are separate routes for Israelis and Palestinians. In the route for Israelis, there are no inspections and the route for Palestinians inspects. The queue lengthens and shortens suits. The checkpoint is open 24 hours a day. The checkpoint is partially staffed and the people who pass through it are checked at random.
