Morning
07:25 'Atma. People trickle out of the checkpoint. Rigorous inspections.
One of those going through reports waiting two hours at the internal checkpoint, another claims he waited an hour and a half.
An Israeli Arab who transports workers is waiting for them to come through. Complains about the situation of the Palestinians in 'Azzun 'Atma: Someone requiring medical treatment, with a permit to go to Hadassah, wasn’t allowed to leave through this checkpoint. In another case, a Palestinian whose lands are on the other side of the road is not allowed to get to them from here.
07:40 Almost no one goes through the checkpoint. Occasionally a lone Palestinian shows up. We left.
