'Azzun 'Atma, Tue 29.12.09, Afternoon

 We arrived at the checkpoint at 1530 and stayed about 10 minutes.

The checkpoint area was quiet and during the time we were there, three people exited.
We were told the checkpoint is manned until 10:30.
The checkpoint seems more substantial each time we visit, with new concrete structures, sand bags and paintings glorifying the Shavit Unit which is manning the checkpoint.
