Jubara, Ar-Ras, Anabta — Thursday AM, 8 June 2006 Watchers: Nora R., Chana P. (reporting) 07:00 – JubaraThe Schoolchildren’s Gate is open, the checking is being done at the A-Ras CP.Ar-RasNo blanket restrictions in effect, but to enter Jubara, one must be a resident or have a permit. A car with youths and equipment cannot pass without a permit. They unload the equipment at the checkpoint and another vehicles arrives from Jubara to take the boys and the equipment.A young man who tries to cross to Jubara without a permit is sent back. The checkpoint commander explains to us that Jubara is in fact Israel, even though it is a Palestinian village, but that is how the fence is being routed. There is indeed a checkpoint at the exit, but a car can find a path and go out by it into Israel.Problem of the Faroun Gate:We returned to Jubara where we had a meeting planned by phone with Nora a day ago. We met beyond the checkpoint three men from the same family who have 60 dunams [15 acres] of land near Jubara. They had an entry permit for Faroun, but the gate has been closed for the last two months. We phoned Aharon H., commander of the Ephraim Brigade [that serves at CPs in this region], and he asked Nora to fax him a description of the problem.09:00 — AnabtaAs we approached Anabta we were stopped by a driver who told us that all was quiet at Anabta, and he pointed us to an improvised checkpoint at the entrance to Beit Lid. We got there and a soldier told us there was a security alert in effect.Beit Lid – rolling checkpointAt the exit from the direction of Beit Iba, a long line of some 15 vehicles (the outbound vehicles had been inspected four kilometres back at Beit Iba). The passengers have to get out of their vehicles, are checked then go through to the other side of the checkpoint. The line of vehicles travelling in the direction of Beit Iba is getting longer. The checking is arbitrary. The soldiers demand of one taxi that all the passengers alight and are checked; the one after it they let pass.
