"Id el Fitr" today and Bethlehem under closure. We went first to the direction of Husan, El-Khadr. The road to El-Khadr is blocked and 3 soldiers are making sure nobody crosses.The El-Khadr checkpoint had a few Nachal soldiers checking the Palestinians in the cars. They are looking very thoroughly at the trunks. It took around 15 minutes for a waiting car to pass. The soldiers were acting correctly and even trying more, maybe because of the holiday.Bethlehem checkpoint is a totally desolated with many border police soldiers.
