Qalqiliya, Wed 19.12.07, Morning

Qalqiliya
7:30 - 10-30
On the first morning of Id el Adhah, The Sacrifice Holiday, most of the inhabitants of Tulkarm and Nablus stayed at home. The West bank seemed sleepy. The roads were empty. Few went through the checkpoints. We found no changes to the army regulations regarding the conditions of passage through the various checkpoints. The soldiers were updated by their commanders that from lunchtime onwards many families will be going to visit their relatives.
 
In our opinion, one could skip the morning shifts of Machsomwatch during the 4 days of the holiday, or at least on the first day of the holiday.
