Summary. At Anabta a soldier is run over and slightly hurt. He is taken to hospital. This causes long lines at the checkpoint.
6.50 Taayniem checkpoint …Some 10s of workers waiting to go to work at Alfei Menashe.
6.55 Qaqiliya. No lines and the checking is swift in both directions.
9.30
At Anabta there is a line of 50 cars waiting to enter Tulkarm and from
the opposite direction fewer cars. The commander says that this morning
one of the soldier stopped a car which he thought had been stolen and
the soldier had been run over by the driver who was trying to get
into Tulkarm. The soldiers shot at him but he got away in the direction
of the city. The soldier was taken to hospital and according to the
internet was not badly hurt.
Remarks.
We think that this time the description of the incident sounds valid
because in Tulkarm there are butchery shops for cars and therefore it
is possible that the driver was an Israeli Arab. Hard to distinguish the
security element from the criminal.
Netta
asks to state that the soldiers were hostile to us. I, Inbal, agree but
we also were to blame. Already from far one could see that something
unusual was happening at the checkpoint. Instead of getting information
from the taxi drivers we went straight into the checkpoint and met the
soldiers without having the slightest idea why they were so upset.

'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.

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.Karin LindnerOct-28-2011Etz Ephraim settlement. Nurit overlooks Siniriya
