Jubara, Ar-Ras
13:50 – The entrance gate to Jubara is locked. One of the soldiers arrives with the key and opens the gate for us without delay. At the Schoolchildren's Gate two soldiers check vehicles and pedestrians, on their way to and from Jubara, and let them pass. They signal to us to pass.
14:00 – Two soldiers are at Ar-Ras checkpoint on the road that comes from Tulkarm. One soldier is at the post opposite it and another sits in the watch tower. All of them are wearing helmets because of the alerts, as they say. Few cars come from the direction of Tulkarm and are checked briefly by the soldiers. According to the soldiers, there are no restrictions and no apartness [a ban that stops residents of a particular West Bank area from traveling to another].
Anabta
14:30 – The traffic from Tulkarm is fast. The soldiers let cars pass without inspection and there is no line. However, at the entrance to Tulkarm one of the soldiers stops every vehicle and checks documents, which creates a long line of cars. Another soldier joins the southern post and speeds up the passage of the cars and, as a result, the line disappears.

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.
