Morning

7.00 Habla. When we arrived the bus with girls was parked and had been waiting a long time.

A tractor goes by with no delay.

7.10The bus with the boys arrives. After a usual check the driver got out very angry. The woman soldier wanted him to wait but he had no problem making it clear that the children could not be late for school.  The traffic flow is relatively slow. There are not many people. There are many donkeys.

On the Palestinian side left of the fence a group of internationals are watching. We could not contact them.

8.00We arrived at Beit IbaDeir Sharafthrough Sara. All is quiet and no army vehicle is to be seen on our way. We stopped to speak to the people in the shop.  There is a growth in development but the road is still very bad as always. The plans to improve and widen it have been put aside. (Where did the money go to?). The problem of wild boar has not been solved and they come up every now and again from the wadi.

Shavei Shomron.The traffic flows. The ugly cement blocks of the checkpoints remind as that everything can change in a moment.

8.30 Anabta.The traffic flows with no problems.

8.50 Irtah.There are four buses there (amongst the six of the morning). They are taking the families to visit the prisoners. People kept arriving at the checkpoint and getting into the buses. We spoke to some of them and without taking into account the horrible situation there were no complaints. One of the buses left without being accompanied by police or army. It seems this is the accepted procedure.
