Tarqumiya

Tarqumiya, Tuesday 30.11.04, PMWatchers : Orit (reporting Hebrow ) Susan (reporting English )On our arrival we coincided with three busses filled with mostly women and children, apparently returning from a prison visit. The boarder passes were quickly excuted.About 70 workers passed during out watch, where two soldiers were executing the check ups. One we thought was a druze soldier spoke arabic with a posotive attitude to us as well as the passers by even saying thank you when he was returning to the workers their papers.The second was a real sour puss, who towards the end of our watch did not forget to place a smelly garbage bin under our noses. We got the message, so because of the smell, darkness and cold (that we were not prepared for) we left at 16.45.
