'Azzun 'Atma, Huwwara, Thu 17.12.09, Morning
Azzun Atma. 6.20 Two comparatively short lines of workers. Their permits are only for the settlements in the area but of course they can get to any place. Of course there is the problem that they may get caught. When they exit they make sure to be registered so as to get back according to their permits. There is a volunteer here for the seamline, a very nice Jewish man, truly nice. 6.40 Next to the entrance to Beit Ariyeh is a rolling checkpoint. The passage at Beit Furik . There is no one there. One could get to Nablus. Huwwara. 7.30 Two taxis are stopped . The dogtrainer and dog search one and it is freed. The other is stopped because there are young people. It has to go back to Nablus and one of the people remains to be checked. We asked the DCO representative about the" "Activities" of the settlers of Har Bracha. He says that when the command to freeze the settlements was issued they came down and "made a confusion in the area." The crossroad of Tapuach. 8.00 At the parking lot the lights of the blue police are flashing. With a loudspeaker they call taxis which come to the checkpoint to them to have their licenses checked. When we asked they said that they were only traffic police.
