| Morning

 9.30 – 10.00 Entrance and exit of Tulkarm
 About 30 cars both at the entrance and exit. A wait of 25 minutes. The soldiers are relatively polite and the movement is constant. We were told that there was segregation and people from Jenin cannot pass.

10.00 – 10.30 A-ras, Jubara
We went as usual to Hatam who said that the soldiers at the checkpoint behave most politely. From a distance we saw that the movement on the road in the direction of A-Ras was minor and so we did not go there.

    •   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.
