Morning

We decided to try and cross the Green Line through the Negohot checkpoint, and indeed this time we had a pleasant  surprise and the two soldiers approved our passage and did not send us to the Meitar checkpoint. We continued on our way to the Bayt Awa checkpoint, where we met with Mahmoud Aswati who owns the garage at the junction.

According to him, the conduct at the checkpoint depends on the soldiers manning it. The conduct towards the Palestinians depends on the soldiers who are on duty, sometimes acting in a respectful way and sometimes the soldiers are rude and aggressive. In addition, Israeli police officers standing at the checkpoint hand out reports to Palestinian drivers, confiscating unlicensed vehicles.

Reina from the village of Fokisis which lies between  Negohot and Khוrsa continues to report that the settler who lives on the farm near their house and has a herd of sheep continues to harass them on a daily basis with the dogs guarding the herd.

The settlement Negohot A is expanding.

Tawfiq who lives near the pillbox in Khursa claims that the situation does not change and every time there is an event like a wedding or they sit three days after the funeral in the big tent, they are forced to ask for permission due to the proximity to the checkpoint.
