Anabta
07:45 – Thirteen vehicles are waiting. When we arrive we are asked to cross the road and wait on the opposite side. Right after that another soldier comes and tells us to go back to the other side of the road. If there is some disagreement among the soldiers about the side of the road we can stay on, there is one thing in which they are all unanimous – we mustn't stand next to the shooting post, in the shade.
It took the vehicles 8 minutes to pass, according to our measuring.
On the way to Qalqiliya, opposite Qdumim, soldiers are sitting in the yard of a deserted house and look as if they are guarding it.
The entrance to Azzun is open.
Qalqiliya
10:45 – A long line of vehicles at the exit. The soldiers work at a reasonable speed, but the line is long and it takes about 10 minutes to pass.

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
