7:00 Twenty people waiting. Two inspection booths open, and then people are checked by a soldier with a metal detector. He inspects knapsacks and bags from time to time as well as food containers, and also pockets. The procedure is usually quick, about 5 minutes.
A pupil comes over from across the road and they open the locked gate for him.
Five soldiers are standing there.
At 7:15 there weren’t any laborers at the gate.
We left to Nablus CPs
Anabta
9:40 There’s a traffic light for those entering toward Tulkarm. There may also be one for those leaving, but from where we were standing we could only guess. Despite the red light, the soldiers motion to those entering Tulkarm to keep going. Those leaving are delayed by random inspections. We saw two taxis stopped in a lane blocked by a bar that can be raised; their passengers had to get out and wait ten minutes until they were allowed to continue.

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.

'Azzun 'Atma
A Palestinian village of about 1,800 residents. The settlement of Sha'arei Tikva was established on its land adjacent to it, and the settlement of Oranit was established on its agricultural lands. By 2013, the separation fence had passed through the village and a checkpoint staffed by the army allowed the residents to cross from side to side. After building a massive wall surrounding the village and some of its agricultural lands, the residents went daily for five years to their lands that remained in the Seam Zone through the Oranit agricultural checkpoint (4). Since 2018 it has only opened during the olive harvest and the farmers have to pass daily at the Beit Amin / Abu Salman checkpoint (1447), about 3 kilometers north.From a report from March 24, 2021: "The farmers from Beit Amin and Azon Atma are happy that since February 21 the Oranit checkpoint .is going to be open 3 times a day, The farmers are really developing the place."
Report from July 14, 2024: "Ornit checkpoint is closed . The Beit Amin/Abu Salman agricultural checkpoint is closed (there is no contact with the military to check if it opens rarely), the Ezbat Jaloud checkpoint was opened once a day before the war.
