7.10
Jubara – We are not permitted to approach the road block. While driving on the main road to Anabta we watch from a distance and see that there is no line. The cars are passing through and so do 2 school buses.
7.25
Anabta – Vehicles are waiting in line. At the entrance there is a short line dissolving from time to time. At the exit there is a constant line of 15 cars. We measure the time it takes to pass through – about 7 minutes.
When we arrive 3 cabs are detained. Each time one young person is ordered out of the cab and sent to talk to a civilian in an army vehicle parking on the side. After a few minutes he is released. The detained cabs do not interfere with the passage through the road block, but the cabs are released only about 8.00. Still at the entrance, additional cabs are being detained, and the young men are sent to talk to the civilian. However, this time the procedure is shorter.
The inspection is inefficient. A detainee, who has been detained since our arrival, is interrogated only at 8.10 and is then released in the direction of Tulkarem. We are not allowed to talk to the detainees.

Qalqiliya
There are no lines – the passage through is fast.

'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.

Qalqiliya checkpoint
See all reports for this place-
Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
