Observers: Tami C. and Dalia G.

| Afternoon

Translation: Bracha There is nothing new compared to last week.  Only the A-Ras checkpoint with its desolation amazes us.Photographs were sent yesterday in a separate email.

17:20 Anabta

The widening of the road continues with trees being uprooted on one side and the flattening of the agricultural area on the other.Traffic is flowing freely.

17:40 Te’enim Checkpoint: The soldier is not willing to let us through.  He needs to receive permission to do so. Tami calls someone.  Perhaps because of that the soldier opens the gate for us anyway.  We enter the village of Jabara.

Gate 753: We are asked for our I.D. cards.  We present them and pass through in the direction of the A-Ras Checkpoint of which nothing is left.  We are amazed at the vacant spot and take pictures.  We return to Jabara.

18:05 The gate is opened for us and we return home.

      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.
