The roads and Road Blocks are practically empty. Very little traffic everywhere.

 

Anabta:


8 cars in each direction. The soldiers pass them through the road block rapidly and execute very few inspections.

At a certain stage the queue towards Tulkarm grew and we saw many UN cars as well as cars of several European diplomats.We did not manage to find out what was the event that brought them there. They passed through the road block very quickly.

We tried to find out from a soldier at the checkpoint  what were his criteria for dealying a car for inspection.The answer was more or less that he just selects them according to his 'gut feeling'. It looked like it too, though he was very nice and friendly with everyone.

      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.
