Jubara, Wednesday, 9/11/05, PMObservers: Sara F., Deb L. (reporting)We were only there 15 minutes on the way back from Beit Iba — 4:55PM – 5:10PM. There was no checkpoint at the road in the underpass. Four vehicles were waiting to drive into Jubara, 2 cars were waiting to leave and about 10 people were waiting to leave. The soldiers said they would let the people and vehicles pass, but that it takes time to check them. There were no detainees. There were about 10 people waiting to go in on the Tulkarm side and a few vehicles leaving Tulkarm.

    • 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.
