Beit Iba, Wednesday, 23.8.06 AMObservers: Inbal R, Elisheva A (reporting) 08:00 Beit Iba Hordes of pedestrians crowded at the entry checkpoint for Nablus. They ask us whether there is “cessation of life” – no, it’s only a general rehearsal! The checkpoint commander and the soldiers are very thorough. And they are carrying out “parade ground” drills: “Back! Back!” again and again. These are the days of entrance exams for new students at university, and this is another reason for the crowding, in which small children are crushed among the mass. Our requests to the commander to ease their situation of course do nothing. Entry to Nablus is free to all. The exit from Anabta is forbidden to ages 16-30 from Jenin and Tulkarm Districts – but they are all here! How much strength does it take! Rolling checkpoint facing Qedumim Industrial Area: cars being inspected.Jit Junction – a checkpoint from Huwwara.Rolling checkpoint before Funduk. Nablus residents forbidden to pass.
