Morning

 06.30 Eliyahu crossing


Crossing is relatively quiet with a small number of workers standing in line.

06.40 Qalqilya

The exit is open to traffic and is without queues.

There are random checks of cars entering but again, a free flow of traffic.

No inspection of buses exiting.

07.05 Givat Hamitnahlim (Shvut Ami B) is empty although a great deal of rubbish gives testimony to the presence of the youths who camped out here.

09.08Anabta

The c/p is quiet. This information was also given to us previously at Beit Iba by a taxi driver we meet here. There are random checks but very little to report.

09.25 A-ras

The c/p is quiet and the soldiers are somewhat bored and pleased to have someone to talk to. We converse with the officer in charge who is a very intelligent and pleasant guy and he informs us that he has seen the MachsomWatch website and was impressed by the detail of the reports.  He also comments on a certain degree of cynicism in the reports he has read.
