‘Anabta, Jubara (Kafriat), Qalqiliya, Thu 2.7.09, Morning
7.00 Jubara. The soldiers have to get permission to allow us into the village. We had to remind them three times and in the meantime the operation room said they did not know which gate was meant. Permission was given but we had to wait for the patrol to come and open as the soldiers could not. We waited half an hour and gave up. From the main road one could see that the checkpoint of Ar-Ras was not manned.
7/45 Anabta There are two lanes. At the entrance the drivers are looked at and at the exit now and again they are stopped to be checked and questioned. There were few lines when we arrived and these melted away quite quickly. Generally the traffic passed smoothly but the army was watchful. One truck was sent back to Tulkarm and we could not find out why. In other words it is not free and open.
9.15 Shvut Ami. The cave and the shed seem to be abandoned and the shed itself is pretty rundown and there is no flag. Between the almond trees there is a shed which is new to us but we saw no signs of activity.
9.35 Qalqiliya. When we arrived a big truck stood at the checkpoint with a hoist and we saw to our joy two cementer blocks being taken up and loaded. To our sorrow this was all that the truck took …so part of the checkpoint was taken and not all of it.
The passage is free but at the side of the road is a temporary pillbox which is protected by low cement walls and 4 soldiers have their weapons at the ready. They do not check the passage but watch what is taking place. It is worth while to go down to the road and to make a small detour. In short those passing are still being watched.

'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.

Jubara (Kafriat)
See all reports for this place-
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.

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.
