Ar-Ras, Jubara (Kafriat), Wed 14.5.08, Afternoon
General: Little movement and the reservists are satisfactory.
14.35 Jubara.
The gate was immediately opened for us. We asked the soldier for his telephone number so as to phone when we returned and he did so without hesitation. This is an efficient and recommended way of doing things. The children's gate was empty. At A-Ras there was a change of shift which caused a delay and drivers said they had waited half an hour and was soon as the change in shift was concluded the traffic jam ended. The soldiers listen to us and the Palestinian. A man who asked to speak because of his brother who had been injured and needed treatment was let though immediately. Cars leaving Tulkarm were checked and those entering did so freely. When we left Jubara the soldier whom we phoned came at once to let us through. At Anabta there was little and swift movement. Noami told Tammie that there had been a traffic jam at Qalqiliya for the past half hour and Eran at the DCO said that they knew and were dealing with it. We go to Beit Iba.

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.
