‘Anabta, Ar-Ras, Qalqiliya, Wed 19.3.08, Morning
Qaqiliya-Zofim.
Nothing special happened and no lines and no unusual limitations of movement.
At Anabta the same thing. The one thing that continues to bother us is why cars with Israeli licenses can go into Tulkarm but not into Qalqiliya without a special permit. We asked the soldiers if we could go through by car and they said that only Israeli Arabs could do so. That is there is a difference between blood and blood and this should be a matter for the high court. But this could maybe put a stop to Israeli Arabs going through and nothing would be gained.
Ar-Ras…the passage is very slow, almost like that of the Jordan valley and includes a very careful check also of the baggage compartment. And we would like to know why this is stricter than Anabta.

'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.
