The

for the Palestinians we passed through all the checkpoints that we know
and the IDs of those entering and exiting were checked by the soldiers
Jubara,
A-Ras. 13.50.
A long line of cars at the checkpoint of Ephraim. A
soldier opened the gate for us to enter Jubara. Red hollyhocks and
yellow Ironit on the side of the road. At the children's gate were two
soldiers checking the few pedestrians and cars which were entering
Jubara. At A‑Ras the soldier sitting in the sentry tower and two
others checking the cars which come from Tulkarm. While we were there
there were no lines in any direction.
14.50
Few cars in either direction. Those coming from Tulkarm are not checked
and at the northern checkpoint those leaving are checked randomly. One
of the soldiers, of the compulsory
service ask about what we do and asks questions and listens. Drivers
say that the settlers thrown stones at them south of Jit on the way to
Hawarra. We could not communicate with the shift at Hawarra.

Jubara (Kafriat)
See all reports for this place-
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.
