Jubara, A-ras
13:50 We reached a locked gate. Bilhah
approached the roadblock and asked the soldiers to open the gate for
us. One of the soldiers took a key and the gate opened with no delays.
On the way back we had to hoot several times in front of the locked
gate, trying to make eye contact with the soldiers so that they open
the gate for us. 5 minutes later one of the soldiers noticed us and
came over.

14:00 We went through gate 753. At A-ras
checkpoint 4 male and one female soldiers stand at the check post. Few
vehicles come from the direction of Tulkarm. A concrete road block at
about 30 meters from the checkpoint marks the place where vehicles have
to stop until a soldier waives to the next car to advance. Each car is
thoroughly inspected. ID cards are collected and checked at the check
post. The soldiers open car doors and car boots. Young passengers are
asked for their copybooks and books and a soldier looks through them
and gives thenm back to the youths.

14:20 On our way back, at the Children's Gate
(753) a soldier signals to us to stop and asks us to open our car
boot. After a short inspection he lets us through. I asked him if he
was looking for Palestinians in car boot. He answered seriously :
"Don't laugh, it happened that women, not from your organisation, from
another organisation… smuggled illegals and I cannot allow this."

'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.
