Qalqiliya 

13:45 – Few cars pass without delays
in both directions. 

Anabta 

15:30 – The "Blue and White"
women [right wing activists] have done it again: Three small flags are
hung on the southern side of the shed as well as a 30x45 centimeter
sign which says in big and clear letters "We thank MachsomWatch
for helping our struggle succeed," signed "Terrorist Movement
activists". The reservists at the checkpoint have taken no notice
of the sign and haven't given a thought to what it says, neither have
they protested when we took it off. 

A soldier is painting a large concrete
cube on the southern side of the checkpoint, and the traffic of cars
is stopped for a few minutes, which causes lines in both directions.
A few minutes later the traffic resumes and the cars pass fast without
inspections.
