Deir Sharaf, Huwwara, Za'tara (Tapuah), Wed 3.3.10, Afternoon

Translation: Aliya S.

14:15   Shomron Gate:

     No problems. The traffic flowed on both sides.

14:27 Za'tara

        Completely open. There were soldiers at the checking booth on the road from Nablus, but as far as we could see they weren't checking anyone.

14:45 Huwwara

      The traffic seemed to be flowing fairly freely both into and out of Nablus. On both sides large taxis were stopped randomly and checked very cursorily. Only one large jeep-like private van was stopped on the side coming from Nablus. Several people were outside the vehicle and soldiers were speaking with them. We couldn't get close enough to tell what was happening.

15:25 Deir Sharaf 

 It was empty and open
