A Toyota pickup truck blocks the road. Palestinians are detained. A soldier proudly informs us of a “battalion run". At the water station dozens of plastic cups scattered on the road. The commander is in a very good mood, promises that everyone is drinking and when it’s over they’ll remove the discarded cups.

18 cars on the roadside are waiting to cross to the West Bank, the soldiers collecting IDs from the passengers. People had already gotten out of the burning hot cars when we arrived, it’s 37 degrees Celsius in the shade but there isn’t any shade. They’ve been waiting more than half an hour. Most of the cars are crowded with laborers returning from working in the settlements’ fields; they began at 5 in the morning, in the sun, and because of the Ramadan fast they didn’t eat or drink. Now they’re stuck here, at the checkpoint. People are very angry, also at us standing helplessly before them. In desperation they’re seeking help, not sympathy…

It is very hot but pupils returning on foot from school in Farush Beit Dajan, to the tents north of the checkpoint tried to take a shortcut through the CP. road but were made to take the road bypassing the checkpoint which is used particularly by pedestrians going west.

On Monday, darkness fell on Khabis Sawaftah’s family. While they were busy with their morning tasks, two bulldozers, 12 vehicles from the Civil Administration, Border Police and about 40 soldiers descended on them, ordering them out of their home. Khabis, his wife and their five children stood 20 meters away, the soldiers standing between them and the house, watching Civil Administration personnel dumping their belongings, sacks of lentils and rice tearing and spilling everywhere. Blankets and mattresses, schoolbooks and clothing. Then in a few minutes the home had been turned into a pile of stones, boards and plastic sheeting.

A fire zone and nature reseve signs. How absurd it is to prohibit grazing in the area is evident, for example, in the Umm Zuka nature reserve, adjoining the Peles army base in the northern Jordan Valley. It encompasses a huge area, with two signs welcoming visitors: “Umm Zuka Nature Reserve” and “Firing Range” Shepherds are not allowed entry to graze their flocks and herds on the neglected vegetation in winter, and in the summer while the army fires there, igniting huge fires among those dry vegetation. There’s not one bird, not one living thing in the nature reserve – it’s all burnt. A visitor to this “nature reserve” is shocked by the neglect and the danger in the combination of a “Nature Reserve” and a military training area. And that’s what’s known, in occupied Palestine - as a Nature Reserve!!!

A container has been placed at the site as a waiting room. One of the walls of the container has been removed. It’s remarkably ugly. We assume that this structure, made completely of metal, will be like an oven when the hot summer arrives. The place is filthy and disgusting; the Palestinians aren’t using it even now, although the weather isn’t hot.

After the rainy season the land flowers in many colors everywhere. But the tanks and soldiers on maneuvers along the roads ensure that the peaceful landscape, the glorious flowers and the grazing flocks don’t mislead us. This photo was taken next to Bisan CP and Route 90/Gandi Rd.

There are usually very few people here at this hour. Today at 06.00 the checkpoint was filled with some 200-250 people waiting on a very long line, many of whom had been there since 4:30 AM. There were always 7-8 people in the building where detainees are held, waiting a for their names to be called and replaced by others. Some went on to their jobs; others were turned back. During the time we were there we counted 11 people who weren’t allowed through the checkpoint and went back.

Rusted dams, blocked channels, and the famous water slide are all ruined, because Israel erected three giant pumping stations nearby and another one higher up the hill, and diverted all the water to the settlements.

Two teams working west of the section of the road between the settlements of Ro’i and Beqa’ot has two D9 bulldozers and soldiers protecting them. The process: a bulldozer digs and deepens the trench west of the earth mound, a second bulldozer puts the excavated earth on the earth mound, to make it higher.
