Afternoon
14:45 Sheikh Saed
As usual, lately, at this hour, there are almost no people coming and going. Here and there a woman drags along and goes through, a girl gets off a school bus. "Tranquil water" indeed. We also noticed the fact that a grocery store was opened above the checkpoint.
15:15 Abu Dis
By the checkpoint (near the monastery) people who go through immediately crowd. A tour bus parks before the sign forbidding vehicles from approaching the checkpoint.
16:00 Wadi Naar (the container)
There are many sodliers in the place, and they check almost every second car. Documents are taken from the workers who go through the revolving door and are checked. It takes time and the workers are detained until their documents are returned.
One taxi is detained, and one passenger was taken out for a long checkup.
From time to time we made a comment to the soldiers, about the long lines of cars, the workers who were waiting by the revolving door, and they released them all.
Three quarters of an hour later everything was flowing, and the workers went through without being checked.
