We had problems to go out Israel. Probably due to the Haifa attack the day before o perhaps the proximity of Yom Kipur, they decide surprisely to close the borders with Jordan in Allenby (King Hussein for jordanians), only after working for an hou this day.
The explanation we had from a israeli soldier , aiming us with a machine gun, was that the border was closed and it don't be open before 2 or 3 days and he didn't know what was the situation in others frontiers. His screams saying "Go back, go back, now" made we return and we succeded in go out through the border 100 kilometers in the north (Sheik Hussein), taking many risks to find the border close.
In Jordan, we heard that due to Yom Kipur day, israelies decided close all the borders (including the international airport Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv) during the 3 next days. Also, the TV programmes were canceled and establish the curfew in the occuppied territories to permit the jews to assist to pray in sinagoges and Wailing Wall. In this environment, Israel attacked with a missile an presumed terrorists training camp near Damascus in Syria. It was a relief to escape of this situation, althoght we can't be more happy of our experience during the last 6 days.
