Hebron, Sansana, South Hebron Hills, Sun 1.2.09, Morning
Meytar:
7.00 there is still a long line of people outside the CP. Some of them came to raise their personal problems about the process of passing. We wrote them and went to the Israeli side to talk with the man in charge. Aharon, claimed that they do everything to finish every morning at 7.00 and they pay special attention to every problem. He said that the optical checking doesn't take as much time as the workers believe.
