‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Jubara (Kafriat), יום ב’ 12.5.08, אחה”צ
The driver: Hamdan, Nadim's son
We leave Kefar Sava at 13:30 and get to Jubara. We get the key from the staff sergeant who accompanies Bil'ha and asks us to give him a call when we come back so he can give us the key again as the gate has to be opened and closed many times.
Ar-Ras
13:40 – The checkpoint is completely empty. Taxis that arrive pass without delays. I.D. cards that are taken for inspection are returned within 5 minutes.
The following quotation is a piece of writing I saw on a board inside the sentry's post at this checkpoint, "What keeps me going is the feeling that by being here, I serve my country". The writing is dated July 10 – that is to say, not a green recruit.
At 14:20 we leave for Jubara, where we have to wait until the shifts have been replaced. Eventually "our" staff sergeant comes and opens the gate for us.
Anabta
14:45 – A totally desolate checkpoint. The coffee seller for whom we have brought food and clothing is not here today. Cars pass quickly without delaying. In the direction of Tulkarm-Jenin a line of 5-6 trucks drags along but quickly vanishes.
Realizing that we have nothing to do, we leave at 14:55.
'Anabta CP

'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.

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.
