A group of Israelis tour in the West Bank, guided by MachsomWatch members. The residents of Elqana settlement did not want a wall in front of their street, so the wall was erected between a Palestinian house and the rest of his village and was surrounded with a fence.

Three women with permits want to cross to visit someone who’s given birth, bringing plastic bags with clothes – gifts to the new born. They’re not permitted to take two of the bags through. The explanation: “Clothing isn’t permitted through this checkpoint.” The answer from the DCO: “We’ll handle it. You don’t have to call us again.” Bottom line – the gate closed, the bags were returned. Another explanation: “Merchandise isn’t permitted through this checkpoint.”

Solar energy panels that have been donated by the Europeans to provide the village of Umm Imneizil electricity. The Civil Administration has decided to destroy the panels allegedly because they have been erected without permits. The donors apparently got official agreement to install them in advance. The village is terribly poor and neglected and the electricity provided by these panels makes a huge difference in people's lives.

The fence next to the checkpoint abuts the road, alongside it a single line of people (there’s no room for anything wider) that keeps getting longer as workers are dropped off by their employers. The line keeps getting longer, and as darkness begins to fall it numbers more than one hundred persons. Before we left we asked one of those at the end of the line to call us when he gets through the checkpoint. He’d arrived at the checkpoint at 16:30. We left at 16:45. He called at 18:00. All the workers want is to go home after a day work at the settlements and in Israel.
