Morning

Bethlehem: little traffic and few pedestrians crossing into Jerusalem. A border police jeep with 2 officers stopped people after the checkpoint and rechecked their IDs. As the wadi is being used again to circumvent the checkpoint, a few people were caught, but treatment was polite. The bulldozer is not at the checkpoint any more, but 2 tanks are still there.Husan: no curfew.El-Hader: hundreds crossing from Husan, Hebron, Nahalin and surroundings into Bet Lehem: women, men and school children for whom a bus is waiting. No IDF presence at the inner barrier. As no army was present, the passage to the school at the checkpoint was free. On the way back we were told that a transit driver had just been beaten and arrested and taken to an unknown destination by an army jeep, allegedly parking in a forbidden place.
