...But no kids have been seen on the Paleostinian side of the checkpoint for the past month. In fact, nobody walks there, stands there, or sells krembos there. The reason is that 100 meters away from the checkpoint, plain-clothed Paleostinian coppers are stationed, wearing black caps that broadcast their identity to all Paleostinians. Some check some of the cars that want to go through the checkpoint, others look around, trying to spot potential suspicious activity. Someone told us that there are also more coppers there, whose job is to see and not be seen. The efforts have borne fruit: The guards have already managed to stop three different women who each wanted to perpetrate a stabbing attack. "The Paleostinian security forces are indeed on the Paleostinian side of the checkpoint and they prevent kids from coming to it, since we don't want these kids to die," says Jenin Governor Ibrahim Ramadan. "They've been there for 30 days, in several places, taking care of the Paleostinians' security." | |
