east of Nablus at junction of Route 557 (apartheid road forbidden to Palestinians, leading to Itamar and Elon Moreh), and Route 5487. Checkpoint has operated since 2001, seemingly serving residents of Beit Furik and Beit Dajan. In practice it only serves the residents of the settlements.
One of the three checkpoints that used to close off Nablus, together with Huwwara and Beit Iba. Since May 2009 it has been operating for 24 hours a day, with only occasional checking of cars, which are allowed to pass freely (updated April 2010).
