The commander claimed that the document was forged, since the picture was scanned and not glued on. He tried to find a similar document among those of persons passing the roadblock and did not let the man pass to Beit Iba. Finally we met him in Beit Iba [see separate report under Nablus] – he succeeded in passing via another roadblock.10:50On the way back from Beit Iba we observed the A-Ras roadblock and there were no significant waiting lines.11:00, Jubara The roadblock is quite deserted from both directions.

A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank. From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.
