(reporting)Qalqiliya06:30-06:40 The checkpoint is manned, but vehicles and pedestrians pass freely, no queues.Azun06:55-07:10 At the entrance to the village on Rd.55 we spot military vehicles and soldiers. The soldiers, reservists, who say thery are there because they were ordered to be there by the "vertices" (a vertex is army lingo for the command). Another vehicle arrives, including a major, who claims this is just a "check", not a checkpoint. Why has this particular village been chosen for almost daily "checks", he refuses to tell us. As we speak, the soldiers pack up and leave. Jit junctionThe roadblock is not manned.
