Beit Iba-JitMon. 14.2.05 AMObservers: Edna M, Ronny S, Naomi, Herzliya A (reporting)Beit Iba9.25 – no line of cars. The checkpoint is operating efficiently. We saw vehicles (taxis, a truck and private cars) going through the Masara and Qusin road to the checkpoint. We examined that road, large potholes, poor road surface, but the cars drive there. The soldiers told us that on Friday and Saturday it was impossible to pass either by car or on foot, because of a giant pool of water at the foot of the hill. On their own initiative they brought material from the nearby quarry and filled the hole.Jit junction9.45 – Because of what we were told by drivers at Anavta we drove to examine the situation. There was no checkpoint at Sarra; there was a checkpoint at Jit junction but passage was smooth and rapid.

    • A perimeter checkpoint west of the city of Nablus. Operated from 2001 to 2009 as one of the four permanent checkpoints closing on Nablus: Beit Furik and Awarta to the east and Hawara to the south. A pedestrian-only checkpoint, where MachsomWatch volunteers were present daily for several hours in the morning and afternoon to document the thousands of Palestinians waiting for hours in long queues with no shelter in the heat or rain, to leave the district city for anywhere else in the West Bank. From March 2009, as part of the easing of the Palestinian movement in the West Bank, it was abolished, without a trace, and without any adverse change in the security situation.

    • The checkpoint is located on Route 60 near at the junction with Route 55, near the village of Jit. There was a checkpoint for vehicles passing between the north and south of the West Bank, which was abolished towards 2010. Since then, surprise checkpoints have been set up there from time to time with a police or Border Police vehicle, and vehicles and their passengers are inspected.

      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.
