In contrast to the latest reports, the last week of the occupation has been calmer.

Jubara,
A‑Ras. 14.00

Today we came in Walid's taxi, Nadim's brother. This made
problems at the entrance to Jubara. The commander said that a taxi
could not enter. But in the end after a telephone conversation with the
brigade we were allowed through.  At Ar-Ras there is little traffic and
the checking is superficial and only at the entrance to Tulkarm.  The
soldiers say the closure has been lifted. Later Palestinians whom we
met denied this. We were left with an unclear picture.

Anabta.
14.54

Two men from Jenin, born in 1976 and fathers to many children
come to us and say that they tried to get a magnetic card but were told
that they are security refused. They do not know why. Neither of them
nor anyone in their families have ever been accused of anything.

We took their details and will send them to Sylvia.

The
entrance to Tulkarm is open and there is much traffic exiting. 20 cars.
They come forward to the checkpoint when motioned by the solider.
Random checking and no delays.

      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.
