Morning

It is a day of closure because of the Passover.Enroute to Abu-Dis we encounter an improvised check-up. A transit is stopped, one man with a blue ID and the women (without permit) are allowed to continue, the rest of the men (about 10, a couple are old) are being returned. We see them later by the wall in Abu-Dis.Abu-Dis: the opening at the wall across from the gas station has been broadened and it is almost a free passage. No army at 6.45AM. People cross freely. The army is up the hill, and a few detainees. The officer tells us that there is going to be a regular "terminal" there (his term). The guy who organizes the taxis says that they are going to close the wall passage and leave only the one up the hill.
