Morning
In general: very quiet
6:00 Olive Terminal
3 open stations. Very short lines, and crossing is fast.
6:30 Wadi Nar
Approached from the top of the road, the checkpoint looks abandoned, vehicles crossing as on any normal highway, sans occupation. When we were close, a pack of dogs raised hell, barking wildly -- a scary experience. The noise must have awakened one of the soldiers who left his booth. Later we saw that there was a soldier in each of the booths; for the entire time of our stay they never emerged, and there was no disturbance of traffic.
