Morning

Muhammad reports that after most of the work places  in the area were closed, there was a lot of pressure at Meitar Checkpoint because both the contractors and the workers wanted to make up for their lost days. So also Highway 60 was packed to explosion by trucks of construction materials, vehicles of Israelis and Palestinians and pedestrians on the side of the road. All the permanent checkpointsinfo-icon were open (we moved around 09.00, late for departures to work in Israel).

We decided to go up to where Lot, (or his wife) watched the destruction of Sodom. The compound (compound to be  prepared ??) is located on a hill behind the town of Bani Naim (and a tomb of Lot is in a mosque in the town). The reason for the visit was, of course, to stand on the IDF's observations in the area - observations that control the entire area so that a fly cannot land without being exposed. Indeed, there is more than one view, a layout that allows a view of the entire area. The tomb of some Muslim righteous person . Both buildings are very ancient. The views are amazing in all directions, including toward the Jordan and the Moab Mountains. On this side, we did not see any observation posts." Particularly good conditions for the occupation army).

Route 317 was also relatively lively, but we did not see military vehicles: perhaps Lot's observations are sufficient
