Meitar crossing
The laborers have already gone through and the parking lot on the Israeli side is almost empty; everyone’s gone to work. A Red Cross representative tells us that four buses with relatives of prisoners are scheduled to leave for the Ramon prison.

Most of the barriers blocking the roads leading off of Route 60 have been removed; we see few vehicles as we drive, nor are children walking since schools are on vacation.
The vineyards are blossoming alongside the road.

The Pharmacy checkpoint, Tarpa”t checkpoint and the position on Tel Rumeida – bored Naha”l soldiers, no one passing by. The Zion route is still blocked on both sides.
