The checkpoints routine

 

6.30 Azzun 'Atma. There was a longer line than we have been used to see lately and it is not clear why because the soldiers (still gunners) are not prepared to talk to us. We met our two friends, Hanna and Nura who had arrived half an hour before. They also had no explanation for the length of the line. Maybe because the workers were checked more carefully than usual. Each worker had to empty his pockets and take off his belt. Luckily they did not ask them to take off their work boots.

We entered the road of the agricultural passage and went to the place of the watchtower which had disappeared.

There are not police at the exit from Israel.
