6:20. Very sparse traffic of pedestrians and into Israel , and few vehicles in either direction. A volunteer from Kav Hatefer was manning the checkpoint. 7:30 There was a busload of about 50 people who were detained to have their id's checked. Delay of up to a half hour 8:00 at the high school near the checkpoint. Teachers were making a great effort to supervise their students so as to avoid problems with the soldiers. They invited us to the teachers' room. On the wall, were the pictues of two children and three school graduates who were killed by the army. They made two requests of us. Access to the school is very difficult for two disabled children because of the condition of the roads. Y will check with the physicians for human rights. They showed us the wall of the school that the army destroyed. Because of this, students must sit in classes with the windows with closed windows. The army also blocked up part of the courtyard, closing off the main entrance to the school.
