Beit Iba

Beit Iba 13.1 AMObservers: Hadassa T, Esti S, Ruti V (reporting)7.45 – passage is rapid without detainees, including young boys. Passage into Nablus almost free, random checks. Checking is carried out at the exit from Nablus. A very large number of people. Our driver says it is because of the coming festival. The DCO representative is efficient, courteous and helpful.Again we meet the Israeli couple who wanted to see a doctor in Nablus (reported about a month ago). Their permit was to have been sent by fax but because of communications problems, did not arrive. After a series of phone calls the fax arrives and they go on their way.Meanwhile 2 taxi drivers are being detained for crossing the virtual line. They say that on the one hand restrictions are being eased and on the other they are being punished. There was nothing we could do.
