Beit Iba, Tue 30.10.07, Afternoon

 Beit Iba 15.00

 20 vehicles at the checkpoint, mostly trucks.  Going through slowly.

 A lot of chaos on the road and next to the checkpoint.  The

construction and the paving of the road make it very difficult to get

close and observe and not to inconvenience the Palestinians who are

 going through at the same time.

About 100 people waiting.   Two inspection stations for men, and one

for women.  Checking only the IDs. There is constant movement, but

 very slow, at least half an hour wait.

An Israeli Arab is detained when he wanted to return from Nablus to 

Israel.
