Afternoon

1.45 - Silence, heavy like the Hamsin. Few vehicles are passing through and are inspected at the exit from Tulkarm.

Jubara, The Children's Gate

A car is leaving Jubara. The soldiers stop the young driver and
send him back to the village. According to the soldiers the driver had
brought with him a young passenger without a permit to enter the
village. While they were busy he had sneaked the passenger through the
checkpoint and had taken him into the village. The soldiers take the
permit from the driver and insist on him searching for the young
passenger and bringing him back to them. The driver claims he does not
know where he is but goes back to the village.

3 illegals are detained. In answer to our question when they would
be released, the soldiers answer that the inspection of permits takes
longer today because of a flood of illegals. Since the morning 70
illegals went back through the checkpoint. 560 checkpoints and road
blocks had not prevented their entry into Israel.

Anabta

14:45 - The two check posts are manned. The entrance into Tulkarm
is free. At the exit there are about 20 vehicles. The inspection is at
random on both sides and the passage is quick.

Location Description

Anabta checkpoint

See all reports for this place

The checkpoint is located south of the village of Anabta, at the intersection of Road 60 (leading to Nablus at the entrance to Area A), with Road (57, 557, 5576) facing west towards the Einav settlement and the checkpoint at the exit from the West Bank - Figs checkpoint.
Until 2010 we used to watch the intersection and report the long columns created due to a slow inspection of the vehicles in both directions.

Jubara (Kafriat) Checkpoint

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 info-icon , 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.
