Beit Iba, Sunday 2.4.2006 AMObservers: Naomi C. Sara B-S. Orna P. (reporting)Natanya translating10.00 Beit Iba A more than usually long line of pedestrians wanting to enter Nablus. Lecturers can pass and students have to return home. A couple with three small and wet children and a baby in a pram are allowed to enter Nablus thanks to a more lenient sergeant (and that too after an argument). We approached Negoani of the DCO to send a representative at least for the humanitarian affairs. He says the soldiers know who is allowed to enter and because of the attack on Friday there are very careful checks and severe limitations. Crossroads of Jit. 20 cars at a rolling checkpoint.

    • A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank. From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.
