Morning

 

7.00  Jubara

We have to wait 15 minutes until we are allowed to enter the village. They write down my I.D. number. Why do they do that? To make sure that I leave?  

The checkpoint at the "Children's Gate is very active. Pedestrians are walking through and cars and wagons pulled by donkeys are passing. Everybody passes after his I.D. card has been checked and its number written down. Those who are listed when they leave will be listed again when they return. One person has to wait because his number was not written down when he returned from Jubara in the direction of Tulkarm. He says "if I come from Tulkarm I must have returned yesterday, because otherwise where do I come from today? We leave after 30 minutes – his case is still being investigated.  

8.10  Anabta

The passage is open. A car arrives and the driver does not know if he is allowed to pass. The soldier takes his time to wave him through. Part of the time there is no soldier at the checkpoint in the direction of Tulkarm. 

We do not go to Qalqiliya, because we have another mission to fulfill.
