Checkpoint Beit Iba. 6.30 – 8.20
On the way to the checkpoint we see cars and workers at the Eliyahu gate and at the checkpoint of Qalqiliya. Here are large Israeli flags to remind us that this is the Day of Remembrance. At Beit Iba it seems that there is a very long line of people at the checkpoint. When we arrived it turned out that people had been sent back 5 metres which meant that the line was not so long. Everyone was being checked and therefore there was pressure. Women do not know exactly where to stand and so there are lines in various directions. They do not understand why. 15 minutes later the line lets up. During the entire shift matters continue in such a fashion. Few people are leaving Nablus and all along the line people have their belts off and those coming out are fastening their belts. When we go back one of the Palestinians asks us if tomorrow is the Day of Independence and when we say yes he wishes us a happy holiday. Strange and rather sad to hear.
Few cars pass steadily.
Anabta. 8.30 – 9.00 Few cars exiting or entering Tulkarm but we could not find out if the closure was already in
effect. At Ar Ras and Jubara there was little movement of cars and nothing out of the ordinary so we left

'Anabta CP The checkpoint is located south of the village of 'Anabta, at the intersection of Road 60 (leading to Nablus at the entrance to Area A), with Road (57, 557, 5576) facing west towards the Einav settlement and the checkpoint at the exit from the West Bank - Figs checkpoint. Until 2010 we used to watch the intersection and report the long columns created due to a slow inspection of the vehicles in both directions.

Beit Iba
See all reports for this place-
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.Neta EfroniJun-4-2014Beit-Iba checkpoint 22.04.04

Jubara (Kafriat)
See all reports for this place-
The Jabra checkpoint was on Road 557, south of Tulkarm, on the side of the Figs Pass, which is located within the Palestinian Authority (a few kilometers east of the Green Line), and serves as an entry barrier from the territories to Israel. The checkpoint to the village of Jubara, which until 2013 was in the seam area, blocked and surrounded by a fence, was intended for the passage of the family members of the house next to the checkpoint, and also for the MachsomWatch volunteers (with special permission only), on their way to checkpoint 753. on the other side of the village. The soldiers supervising the "fig crossing" also supervised the crossing at this checkpoint, in our shifts we often waited a long time until the key was found and the gate opened. The checkpoint was abolished and became part of the separation fence that was moved west following the High Court.
