Deir Sharaf (Barrels)

We arrived to the checkpoint at 0800 and stayed about 30 minutes.

There are very few cars in intervals. Both sides are open. The soldiers hardly check any of the cars but stop every single lorry for about one to two minutes, although these are asked to drive to the side so the queue is not affected. We asked one of the soldiers and he said that they have been asked to check all the lorries because of an alert.
