Tommy Sabbatical alleges West Bank contacts warned him of checkpoint shootings

What was said

"they tried to help me like set up a plan so I could pass the checkpoint without getting shot because like apparently Palestinians would walk up to these checkpoints and the Israelis would just like unload on them."

Tommy Sabbatical alleges that after 7 October, West Bank checkpoints became unusually severe, with Palestinians sometimes taking five to 10 hours to pass. He says locals helped him plan a route to reach Tel Aviv for a flight, warning him Palestinians could be shot at checkpoints. He recalls walking across and meeting a Jerusalem-based taxi driver on the other side, saying he was very nervous but was not shot.
