 16:45  Anabta Checkpoint


At the entrance and exit, three cars. Traffic flows smoothly.

 17:00  Jubara Checkpoint


We’re in a queue with another 25 vehicles. We go around the queue in order to enter Jubara.

A soldier comes forward to open the gate.

 17:10  Ar-Ras Checkpoint


Sparse traffic through the checkpoint. On the lookout’s wall, a pink sign has been posted by “Women in Blue and White” (photo attached).

[Note: this is an Israeli group that visits IDF checkpoints to support the soldiers with refreshments and encouragement – ed.]

Sara clarifies to the CP commander that there’s a directive from the legal advisor [of Judea and Samaria] to take down any posted signs that constitute incitement.

The CP commander immediately takes down the sign and stores it in a box.

 


17:30  We leave the area.

      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.
