Afternoon

18:10
On our way home we monitored this checkpoint and observed workers coming home from their job and being forced to handle and carry very heavy equipment that is no longer allowed to be transported by vehicle into the village. Machines, sacks, a refrigerator, everything must now be carried by hand. A reserves soldier sporting stylish ski-sun-glasses does not understand what's bothering us. Why, don't porters carry stuff seven or five or four stories up his own building?

Anyway, we got a repeat performance of the mantra about how few suicide bombings there have been since...

So what did we have? A caged city, caged pedestrians, caged passengers, and finally, a caged village.

At 18:30 we re-entered the State of Israel.
