Four soldiers were manning the checkpoint and only two doing the checking. About ten detainees, caught when bypassing the checkpoint. Pedesterian queue (with no shade above) was long and slow. Lorries carrying food and water supply were denied passage, but not giving up. We managed to bring the DCO officers to assist the soldiers and their presence was beneficial. They let the lorries pass, the pedestrian queue passed quickly, and the soldiers started to deal with the detainees. At that hour of the morning no one asked to pass from Nablus direction.Kifl Haris: The entrance to the village is at the junction of Ariel Hotel "Eshel Hashomron". Two soldiers on the roof of a nursery asked us to leave immediately, as it is a closed military zone. Just then, an army force came out of the village, which included several officers, accompanied by soldiers and about eight vehicles, shoving concrete slabs to close the entry to the village. The officers ordered us away. We realized that from now on it will take the residents hours to get in and out of their village.
