 Today it's quiet, however, and we approach Karim Shalom. Look at all these tanks here. A group of truck drivers are standing around in a giant parking lot waiting to be called in to the checkpoint. They're reluctant to speak to journalists, saying some drivers have been punished after being quoted in foreign media. One driver, who won't give his name, offers us coffee. He tells us he's been waiting in this lot since 3 a.m., about 11 hours.
