‘Awarta, ‘Azzun ‘Atma, Za’tara (Tapuah), Thu 2.5.13, Afternoon
This week a settler was stabbed to death by a Palestinian while waiting for a ride near Za'atra checkpoint, and this is when the 
media and the people of Israel remembered that there are Palestinians and that they have a land.

The Awarta checkpoint is closed ,as always, by a yellow handed gate. There is no crossing from here to Nablus.
15:25 Hawara checkpoint Apparently there is a soldier at the guard tower near the inspection cabins. For the first time we saw loud speakers on top of the tower. We have not seen a soldiers guarding at the hitch-hike station. Presence of military vehicles is notices in the entire area.
15:45 The Burin Hawara and road 60 cross road A military vehicle is parked on the road where road forks are spread. Two armed soldiers direct traffic. Only Israeli vehicles are allowed through. There is no single Palestinian vehicle driving on this road these days.
15:48 Road 60 At the turn to the settlement of Yizhar parked various police vehicles and police officers patrol the area to avoid riots. Going up the hill not 
too far from the Gilad farm there are signs of fire on the mountain not too far from the village of Burin. We saw a clatter of private cars inside the settlement for what appeared as a gathering of some sort.
15:50 The Jit cross road Before going up to the village of Sara and the Jit cross road there is a military road block. Two armed soldiers aiming their guns at Palestinians vehicles in the direction of Sara. From here they'd be forced to proceed to Nablus as they are not allowed to use road #60 in the direction of Burin-Hawara, due to security situation.

'Awarta
See all reports for this place-
Awarta, an internal checkpoint in the heart of the West Bank, is located east of the Hawara checkpoint, at the junction of Roads 555 (which was forbidden for Palestinian traffic in this area) and the entrance road to Nablus. It was one of the four checkpoints that surrounded Nablus until 2009. We used to watch it at Huwwara shifts because it was the only one where goods could be transferred to and from Nablus, using the back-to-back method. It was operated by the army, from 06:00 to 20:00. Until 2009.

'Azzun 'Atma
A Palestinian village of about 1,800 residents. The settlement of Sha'arei Tikva was established on its land adjacent to it, and the settlement of Oranit was established on its agricultural lands. By 2013, the separation fence had passed through the village and a checkpoint staffed by the army allowed the residents to cross from side to side. After building a massive wall surrounding the village and some of its agricultural lands, the residents went daily for five years to their lands that remained in the Seam Zone through the Oranit agricultural checkpoint (4). Since 2018 it has only opened during the olive harvest and the farmers have to pass daily at the Beit Amin / Abu Salman checkpoint (1447), about 3 kilometers north.From a report from March 24, 2021: "The farmers from Beit Amin and Azon Atma are happy that since February 21 the Oranit checkpoint .is going to be open 3 times a day, The farmers are really developing the place."
Report from July 14, 2024: "Ornit checkpoint is closed . The Beit Amin/Abu Salman agricultural checkpoint is closed (there is no contact with the military to check if it opens rarely), the Ezbat Jaloud checkpoint was opened once a day before the war.

Za'tara (Tapuah) Za'tara is an internal checkpoint in the heart of the West Bank, at the intersection of Road 60 and Road 505 (Trans-Samaria), east of the Tapuah settlement. This checkpoint is the "border" marked by the IDF between the north and south of the West Bank, in accordance with the policy of separation between the two parts of the West Bank that has been in place since December 2005. At the Za'tara checkpoint, there are separate routes for Israelis and Palestinians. In the route for Israelis, there are no inspections and the route for Palestinians inspects. The queue lengthens and shortens suits. The checkpoint is open 24 hours a day. The checkpoint is partially staffed and the people who pass through it are checked at random.
