Tarqumiya

Tarqumiya Sunday afternoon, January 23, 2005Watchers: Anat S., Linda G. (reporting)We arrived at the CP at 15:30. We greeted the soldiers, who told us not to stand in proximity to the soldiers at the CP itself. The shift was quiet and the passage of the laborers through the checkpoint went smoothly. Very few laborers passed the CP before 16:15. MachsomWatch note: Maybe we should consider whether to start the shift at a later hour. We left the CP at 17:00. About 150 Palestinians had passed through the CP. There were no unusual incidents to report.
