Morning

8.30 am

Vehicles are passing through in both directions without too much hassle. The random car is stopped coming from the direction of Nablus causing a line of about 10 cars. One car with Israeli number plates coming from the direction of Nablus is stopped and turned around. Apparently the driver does not have the correct documents (?)

Deir Sharaf checkpoint is located west of Nablus and south of the settlement of Shavei Shomron, at the entrance to the village of Deir Sharaf on the road leading to Nablus. The checkpoint was activated in early March 2009 after the Beit Iba checkpoint was closed. Palestinians are allowed through the checkpoint , but not for Israelis. Unlike the checkpoints leading to Qalqilya and Tulkarm, crossing of Israeli Palestinians is only allowed on Saturdays.
