Observers: Tammie C.

| Afternoon

Translation: Natanya

16.10 Anabta
The entrance lane is closed and the exit lane is used by everyone. Why? Because of the rain. There are hardly any cars.

16.20 At the Teenim passage next to Jubara there is no line of cars. The Reservists are friendly. They open the gate to Jubara.

At the Children's gate (gate 753) are two soldiers and 4 ecumenical volunteers are chatting. A wave to all and we go on to A-Ras.

16.25 A-Ras
The soldiers are busy covering a building of stone (maybe a storage area) into which rain has leaked. Some cars go through with hardly any checking.  We leave at 16.35.

The gate at Jubara is closed but there is a green line at the car lane. We honk for the soldiers to come and open for us. Immediately a soldier comes. We ask him what the green line is about and he says that it is in connection with the yellow bar which will replace the gate and this is truly raised. We are calmed by this and leave.

      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.
