Palestinians waiting by Gochia gate from 14:00 till 17:00. Though the gate was unlocked they didn't dare cross it without the army permission. Finally, very late, due to repeated calls from MachsomWatch members, a soldier appeared. While waiting, the Palestinians tried to warm themselves in the terrible cold by setting small fire.
