Anabta
Anabta, Monday, 27 September 2004 AMParticipants: Zvia S. and Edna M. (reporting)08:00 Anabta. The iron gate was locked, with long lines of ambulances and taxis on both sides. This is the crossing between Jenin, Tulkarm and Nablus and/or Jerusalem and Ramallah. No soldiers. Pedestrians cross the gate on foot, and board the vehicles that have come to take them to the next checkpoint, en route to their destination.A Palestinian from Sarra asked us to be at the entrance to his village at 06:30 so we can witness the long time needed (an hour and a half) by the villagers and children on their way to school, to leave the village.

Sarra
The checkpoint is installed between the Palestinian village of Sera and the district city of Nablus,
Since 2011, internal barriers Located among the West Bank Israeli settlements have somehow allowed, Palestinian residents to travel and move and reach various Palestinian cities.
After the terrible massacre by the Hammas on October 7 upon Israelis in the communities around Gaza, internal checkpoints manned by the army were installed to prevent free passage for Palestinians.
Many restrictions were imposed on the Palestinians in the West Bank. The prevention of movement shuttered the possibility of making a living in Israel. The number of Palestinian attacks by Israeli extremist settlelers increased along with the radicalization of the army against the Palestinians.
The conduct at the Sera checkpoint is one of the manifestations of the restrictions on all aspects of the Palestinians' lives.
