 Jubara gate, Children’s gate, Ar-Ras

A new IDF company has been posted here, with young soldiers. At Jubara, we told the soldier who opened the gate for us that in the past we wouldn’t bother the company, we simply opened and closed the gate by ourselves.
Light traffic at the two checkpoints. The soldiers are letting vehicles pass without inspecting them. They still don’t understand what we do here, but they greeted us pleasantly. They’ll be posted here for four months. We didn’t tell them what this will do to them.

Anabta

Many Israeli cars are entering. There’s no queue at the exit.

      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.

    •   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.
