‘Anabta, Jubara (Kafriat), Qalqiliya, Tue 28.4.09, Morning
Construction of the checkpoint continues at full speed. Almost
no vehicles waiting on line to enter. Inspection of those leaving
goes slowly, everyone is checked, but no everyone is asked to show documents.
There was a line of 12 vehicles when we arrived. The commander
is very suspicious, asks us to move back and not to interfere.
“I don’t like being watched, move back, don’t make a lot of noise.”
We argued and finally moved back a little, enough so we could see but
not be too annoying. From time to time a vehicle is asked to wait
on the side in order for ID cards to be checked; it’s usually released
quickly. When we left the line had dwindled to two vehicles.
Jubara. 8:30-8:50.
We arrived at Jubara; the soldiers here are also very unfriendly.
We asked to enter the village to visit Abu Hatam. They asked to
see our ID cards; I showed mine and the commander wanted Natalie to
show one also. Unfortunately, she’d forgotten it at home, and
we weren’t allowed to enter in spite of our pleas.
“You’re lucky that I’m
allowing her to enter Israel.” The law is you have to carry
an ID card.
We felt like a Palestinian
who forgot his ID – a very unpleasant feeling, but there was nothing
to do; there was no point to argue, and we left toward Qalqilya.

'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.
