Ar-Ras

14:00 – We arrived while the shifts were being replaced. We inquired about the "apartness" [a ban that stops residents of a particular West Bank area from traveling to another], and after explaining the term to the soldiers, we got the answer, "as usual".

There is no traffic congestion and the inspections are brief. Recently one can even see two taxis waiting for passengers at the entrance to Jubara.

Anabta

14:35 – Soldiers wearing helmets are at the checkpoint. No inspections at the entrance and only random checks at the exit.

What is the term the army uses now instead of "apartness"? Here we are told that people can leave the area of Jenin but they cannot come back. The soldiers explain this to those who 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.
