It wasn't pleasant to see the closed gate.
07:45 Oranit
We did not arrive at gate 1447/1448. The iron gate leading from the plaza of Oranit to the patrol road (which is actually called the Haim Landau road) was locked. Next to it was a passageway for pedestrians, but not wide enough for cars.
We called the DCO, which referred us to the officer in charge of passageways. He told us that the agricultural gate was already open and that the workers can go through, but there is no passage for civilian vehicles. "And that is how it has always been".

Izhar/Burin: no military activity.
On the way from Dison there are police vehicles (blue and border police) at the various junctions. Next to one of them, opposite the memorial "Yad Me'ir", there is a heap of boards. It didn't look as though they intended to build a sukkah! Later on, we saw 2 cars of settlers next to them. Were they on their way to build another settlement?
9:00 Beit Furik: the checkpoint is unmanned.
Awarta: As usual, the yellow barrier arm blocks the whole passageway.
9:10 Huwarra checkpoint: there is a soldier in the tower opposite the hitch-hiking station. Around the plaza there are signs from various settlements "Return to Joseph". We will send a photo.
9:25; Za'atra/Tapuah: unmanned. Next to the checkpoint, there is an abandoned car, without license plates and somewhat disassembled.
Shomron gate: traffic is flowing.
