7.00  Jubara

We have to wait 15 minutes until we are allowed to enter the village. They write down my I.D. number. Why do they do that? To make sure that I leave?  

The checkpoint at the "Children's Gate is very active. Pedestrians are walking through and cars and wagons pulled by donkeys are passing. Everybody passes after his I.D. card has been checked and its number written down. Those who are listed when they leave will be listed again when they return. One person has to wait because his number was not written down when he returned from Jubara in the direction of Tulkarm. He says "if I come from Tulkarm I must have returned yesterday, because otherwise where do I come from today? We leave after 30 minutes – his case is still being investigated.  

8.10  Anabta

The passage is open. A car arrives and the driver does not know if he is allowed to pass. The soldier takes his time to wave him through. Part of the time there is no soldier at the checkpoint in the direction of Tulkarm. 

We do not go to Qalqiliya, because we have another mission to fulfill.

      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.
