Anabta -16:20:
The checkpoint is empty. The cars entering Tulkarm cross without any security check. There is a small number of cars waiting at the exit
16:30- we are leaving Anabta, heading to Jubara.
Jubara- 16:40:
The line to "Teenim" checkpoint is long, approximately 30 vehicles are waiting. There is a steady movement and the line is getting shorter. We bypass the line and reach to the check booth. We witness an argument between the checkpoint commander and an Israeli Palestinian. The Israeli bought some plants and vegetables for personal use in the West Bank, but the commander claims that it's forbidden to transfer the merchandise.
Everyone has a different interpretation on what "merchandise" means. So do we. Tami is reporting to the operations commander and she is going to check. Meanwhile we discover that the gate to Jubara is not being opened for us so we leave. We reported on that as well.

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.
