| Afternoon

 
13:25 Jubara Checkpoint (Figs).
Irritating and coooold rain. At the Children Gate  – only some wet soldiers.
 
A-ras
Under heavy rain. About 4-5 cars waiting at the entrance queue.
Amit goes out to find out if there is a detainee, and immediately the
Terrible Mrs Rita appears, waiving the instructions leaflet for the
women of Blue/White and persuades the soldiers to call the police,
cursing, making speeches. There is a non specific alert and that is why
the inspection is slow. A cab driver who talks to us is punished by a
second inspection of his papers.
 
13.57 Anabta
At the entrance, a lorry carrying flour is delayed because of
permits unfamiliar to the soldiers. At the exit about 15 cars are
wating. Traffic flows. We inform the Centre of the delayed lorry.
 
14:20 Beit Lid
A sudden roadblock because of an unspecific alert. Closure – only
Tulkarm residents are allowed through. Along queue of cars from the
direction of Beit Iba. A cab driver from the village Burka is stuck
desperate.He has no way of getting home. We approached the Centre
regarding his case. While trying to clarify the situation a policeman
who is on the scene barks at us: "I am in charge here. Get in your car
and scram!"

    • '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.

    • A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank. From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.

    • The checkpoint is located on Route 60 near at the junction with Route 55, near the village of Jit. There was a checkpoint for vehicles passing between the north and south of the West Bank, which was abolished towards 2010. Since then, surprise checkpoints have been set up there from time to time with a police or Border Police vehicle, and vehicles and their passengers are inspected.

    •   The Jabra checkpoint was on Road 557, south of Tulkarm, on the side of the Figs Pass, which is located within the Palestinian Authority (a few kilometers east of the Green Line), and serves as an entry barrier from the territories to Israel. The checkpoint to the village of Jubara, which until 2013 was in the seam area, blocked and surrounded by a fence, was intended for the passage of the family members of the house next to the checkpoint, and also for the MachsomWatch volunteers (with special permission only), on their way to checkpoint 753. on the other side of the village. The soldiers supervising the "fig crossing" also supervised the crossing at this checkpoint, in our shifts we often waited a long time until the key was found and the gate opened. The checkpoint was abolished and became part of the separation fence that was moved west following the High Court.
