Jubara, A- Ras

The gate is closed behind an
iron bar. The soldiers are reluctant to open it. They call headquarters,
and then they ask for our I.D. cards. 

At A-Ras there are no signs of
the roadblock, and there are no other gates within sight. 
We are waiting for the gate to
open. Nobody seems to be in a hurry. Three soldiers come to open it.

Anabta 

The checkpoint is functioning
without any unnecessary delays. Heavy army equipment creating a lot
of noise and dust (tractors, a bulldozer with a fork cutting the rocks)
is working at full speed to construct the roadblock. Nobody intends
to evacuate the territories.  

Vehicles with Israeli license-plates
enter the town and their permits are being checked. There are no lines
and the checking is quick.

      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.
