Morning

 

People from Habla gather already at 06:00 and wait for the checkpoint to open. But, though it’s scheduled to begin operating at 06:30, according to the soldiers (who arrived at approximately 06:50), it opened only at 06:55.

06:58 The first Palestinian crosses. A relatively long time passes between the inspection of one group of Palestinians and the next.

07:19 The vehicle transporting the teachers goes through the checkpoint and stops between the fences. The passengers emerge and go to the inspection building.

07:30 Inspections now begin also at the location adjacent to the exit toward the plant nurseries.

07:40 Inspection of the teachers has concluded; the minibus passengers board and continue on their way.

08:05 Approximately 25 people still wait to be inspected.

08:17 The last group of five are inspected. The checkpoint closes and a few minutes later rain begins to pour.
