Beit Iba, Sun 23.3.08, Morning

   Beit Iba.08.45 There are few people and movement is not limited. The soldiers say there was great pressure in the morning. A young woman who works for an NGO and has come out of Nablus says that many students stayed in Nablus because they were scared there would be problems because of the "fast of the Jews". A truck driver wants to enter Nablus with a worker who has a permit only for Hawarra. The soldiers at first will not let him through but maybe because he is obstinate and maybe because we are there they let him through on condition that the truck is empty.  They told the driver that he would not be able to take the truck out through Beit Iba without a permit but only from Hawarra and said he should see to getting the correct permits.  ,_._,___
