‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Jubara (Kafriat), Wed 15.10.08, Afternoon
Anabta
16:15
– No cars in sight. Tami walks to the soldiers to make our presence
felt. When she approaches them, they warn her with shouts not to cross
the red line. When she keeps walking, they repeat the instruction and
ask her why she keeps walking. "Because I want to", is what she says to
them. The soldiers tell Tami that the "Blue and white" women [right
wing activists] have just been here, to which Tami responds asking if
they are allowed to do what we aren't. "That's right" is the answer.
16:20 – We leave and go towards Jubara.
Jubara
16:40 – There is no line of cars at the entrance to Israel. The gate is opened for us right away.
Ar-Ras
16:45
– The place is empty. On the way to Ar-Ras, next to the new shed,
stands an army vehicle and blocks the lane towards Ar-Ras. All the cars
are forced to use the other lane, which means it has become a two-way
lane.
It
turns out that the army vehicle is one of the engineering-corps and the
soldiers are repairing the roof of the shed which was damaged (probably
by some truck). Little by little the work is done and the traffic gets
back to normal. The road, in both lanes, is practically destroyed.
There are dangerous potholes. Tami draws the soldiers' attention to the
fact and asks them to see to it that it be repaired.
In both inspection posts the soldiers are friendly.

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.
