Abu Dis, Container (Wadi Nar), Wed 28.5.08, Afternoon

The Container

17:00  When we arrived, there was a long long long line of vehicles headed towards Bethlehem, a reasonably short line in the opposite direction, 3 young detainees waiting on the side, and several vehicles parked while the passengers' papers underwent checking. 

Shortly thereafter the long line began to move, and was gone in short order.  By the time we left, at about 6:00 pm, all detained people and vehicles had been released, and there were no lines.  Which does not guarantee that lines did not form again after our departure, of course.
