E – Anabta, Ar-Ras

Anabta

09:00 – We got through Shave Shomron in order to see whether the checkpoint is open for traffic in both directions. On the way we see in different places olive pickers at work. At the checkpoint there is no traffic. Few pedestrians have passed and cars have gone almost without stopping.

Jubara, Ar-Ras

09:30 – Little traffic. Cars that arrive from southwest and wish to go north have to take the road, on the large part of which a checkpoint is situated and their only way to move forward is to get down to the  roadside, going with one wheel on the road and the other lurching over potholes. We drew the soldiers' attention to this hurdle but their response reflects their total disinterest, saying, of course, it's not their job and also suggesting it is a good thing because it prevents "them" from conspiring against us. We refer the problem to Tami who already known about it, of course, and is trying to handle it.

      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.
