6:00 AM, Bethlehem - Rachel Crossing: when we arrive, already many people outside.4 checking posts are open..In the 5th booth a soldier is sleeping. He opens hispost from time to time. The queues, arenot too long and people pass quickly. After 6:00 AM, from time to time, thecrossing from the Palestinian side, is stopped – we do not know the reason. We are told by Palestinians that the checkpoint opened onlyat 5:30 AM and that on the other side, 'a real war' takes place. .
