Bethlehem, El Khader, EzyonSunday, March 12, AMObservers: Sylvia P, Ofra B, Chana A (reporting) 6:50 Bethlehem CP: Closure, one booth open with two girl soldiers. A very short line of about five women and two men waiting to come to Jerusalem. No problem with them, they are either humanitarian cases (health) or family unification cases. The Purim holiday, a season of high spirits and gaiety gets its mirror image at the CP: a stunned public, four days without work and income.7:20 El Khader: Many new petitioners and a few happy faces of men whose “security risk” stain has been removed.9:30 Ezyon: two men waiting at the gate. No work on the DCL is being done any more; the construction is finished. All are waiting for the new biometric card machines. The DCL has been closed for six weeks now and the whole process of magnetic cards is stopped for the entire population of the area.
