Place:
'Anabta CP
A-Ras (The Children Checkpoint)
Jubara (Kafriat)
Qalqiliya checkpoint
Shave Shomron Checkpoint
Observers: Alix W., Aliyah S. reporting
13:30 Habla
The checkpoint is empty and the gate is locked at that hour. We only went to see if all was as usual.
14:00 Qalqilya
The line was not long going into the city; about 4 cars. The line of cars going out of the city seemed longer from where we stood; about 9 cars were in line. Both lines were moving smoothly; there didn't seem to be any problem. One Israeli van going into the city was turned back by the commander for lack of a permit.
14:45 Shavei Shomron
Cement dividers have been set up to separate the lanes of traffic in the road at the checkpoint. The road is rather narrow, the dividers take up space, and the checkpoint is placed so that the drivers coming from the north have to "slalom" in order to continue on their way. We watched two huge trucks going through, having to do very difficult manuevers to avoid hittiing the checkpoint on one side or the eight-foot wall on the other side. Of course, all other traffic had to wait for these trucks. Another harrasment?

'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.
