‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Qalqiliya, Tue 18.12.07, Morning
06:30 – 07:00 Sufin/Qalqiliya checkpoint
It's cold. Vehicles come streaming from Qalqiliya. The soldier carries out the check skillfully and swiftly to prevent creating a line.
08:15 – 08:30 Anabta
The winter and the Moslem Holiday Id Al Ad'ha [the Holiday of Sacrifice] are apparent. There is no traffic. Vehicles can scarcely be seen. We haven't even talked with the soldiers. We have just been standing here, waving to greet the few vehicles that pass. It's cold.
09:00 – 09:30 Ar-Ras
It seems that the oppressive checkpoint routine can be avoided thanks to the holiday and the cold. Again, a lot of soldiers and only few vehicles pass. It's very, very quiet.
We stop at Abu Hatem's and wish him a happy holiday. It's sad.

'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.
