‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Jubara (Kafriat), Qalqiliya, Thu 4.12.08, Morning
06:50 – Qalqiliya checkpoint is completely
empty.
Anabta
10:00 – All is quiet. There is no line
and the vehicles pass quickly.
Jubara (the Figs Checkpoint)
10:15 – When we get to Jubara, a major
approaches us. We ask him to open the gate for us but he answers that
it needs the permission of the brigade. Saying that the gate is opened
for us every day doesn't help. He tries to discourage us by saying that
it might take a long time – "not 2 minutes, maybe 15). We answer
calmly that we can wait and, actually, within 2 minutes the gate is
opened. In addition to the iron gate, there is now an upwards going
barrier there.
All is quiet at Ar-Ras. The soldiers
here are reservists who say "what does this place have to do with
us?" They let the cars pass almost without inspection.
10:35 – We are at Jubara again. Two
vehicles of the police and the border police are standing next to six
"illegals" [in Israel without a residence permission].

'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.
