14.20
On road # 60 at the junction to Anabta an army Hummer is waiting in ambush…… (for whom?)

At the Anabta roadblock there is little traffic. Entering vehicles are not being inspected. At the exit from Anabta the line is quite long, but the traffic is moving and there is no inspection.

16.30

Jubara – The line of cars waiting to enter Israel is very long. Maybe these are the cars coming from Anabta. We are waiting in line. We can’t even overtake the vehicles in front of us, because there is only one lane. To the left settlers’ cars are passing by.


16.45
At the end, where there are two lanes close to the roadblock, we overtake the cars in front of us. But the lane is closed….. The soldiers open it to let us through and ask us to wait for them to open the gate to the village. Meanwhile the line at the entrance to Israel is getting longer. The soldiers are busy and don’t have time to open the gate for us.  We keep waiting for 10 minutes and give up. It looks as if there are at least 100 cars waiting in line.

17.00

We leave the roadblock and drive home.

      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.

    •   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.
