Jubara

13:30 – There are new soldiers here. Before opening the gate, we were asked to show documents. We showed a tag and also the sign on our vehicle.

A soldier confronted us at the Schoolchildren's Gate. He insisted that we stand in line and refuses to make a phone call to clarify the situation. He asks Nadin to identify himself but Nadin refuses and we do not give in. the soldier finally makes the call and we can hear what he is told: "Let them pass and do their work …"

Ar-Ras

There are no lines and the inspection is random.

Anabta

14:15 – A long line on the way out of Tulkarm. It takes each car 10 minutes to pass, according to our check. There is no inspection at the entrance. A big white van pushes into the line and gets to the inspection post. He explains to the soldier the reason for his pushing in. he says that his younger brother had an accident and he is bringing him the documents. The soldier lets him pass right away. To the compliment we pay him he answers that he had no reason not to let him pass.

      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.
