lot of soldiers. People keep waiting. No effort is made to check quickly
and efficiently. Vehicles driving into the territories are being checked.
Every possible document is being examined. They also want to check our
permits.
A-Ras
There is no roadblock. We keep
driving towards Tulkarm under the bridge and to the garbage site. The
way is open and for the time being there is no sign of a roadblock being
constructed on another spot. We ask a cab driver and he confirms that
it is possible to go from Tulkarem to Qalqiliya only assing through
the checkpoint at Qalqiliya.

The no-entrance sign for Israelis
has been moved forwards far away from the roadblock. The work on the
road continues. According to the sergeant, who has been measuring, they
are going to add lanes at the roadblock.
There are no lines. At the exit
4-7 vehicles drive through quite fast. The soldiers ask questions and
sometimes they check the baggage.

'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.

Qalqiliya checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.Karin LindnerOct-28-2011Etz Ephraim settlement. Nurit overlooks Siniriya
