‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Jubara (Kafriat), Thu 12.6.08, Afternoon
Observers: Noa P., Sarah K.; Translator: Orna B
17:10 Anabta Checkpoint
The checkpoint is almost empty
Few vehicles are passing rapidly with no delays. Occasionaly a wave of vehicles arrives but they too go through in two or three minutes. From time to time a vehicle is stopped for a more thorough inspection.
We continue on our way to Jubara.
17:30 Jubara Checkpoint.
Very few vehicles. We ask the soldiers to open the gate and they respond instantly.
At the Children's Gate one of the soldiers asks to see our ID cards, but a second soldier asks him to let us through.
A-ras Checkpoint.
Thin stream of vehicles. Those leaving Tulkarm are inspected very thoroughly.
Those who enter Tulkarm go through without inspection, but there are spikes on the road that force the drivers to drive around them. The soldiers say that it was done to slow them down.
Pedestrians arrive from the direction of Jubara. They had finished their day's work and go through without delays.
A nice old man leaning on a cane is walking from Jubara to the chekpoint. He sits down by the road side.
The soldiers report that he is an illegal – he had crossed over to Taibeh without a permit, and his identity card has been taken by the soldiers at the Children's Gate. He is sitting there, waiting for the soldiers to bring him back his ID card. One of the soldiers brings him a bottle of cold water. Ten minutes later a Jeep arrives with his ID card and the soldiers start to interview him.
18:00 We go back to Jubara. After waiting for a few minutes one of the soldiers comes over to open the gate for us but he insists on seeing all our ID cards before letting us through.

'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.
