Afternoon

4.15 Anabta with few cars which pass quickly in both directions.

4.40 Jubara. The cars in either directions pass swiftly and with little if no checking. We ask the commander, first sergeant Gadi, wearing a small settler's kippa for the keys so as to get to A-Ras. According to his instructions we waited parked at the side and after a few moments when no one got back to us we again asked for the keys. The answer was that they did not know where it was and would look for it. Maybe the patrol had taken it and when we said that this was not the first time and that one could suppose that the army could take better cars of the keys we received an aggressive educational speech. Very settlerish and cheeky which ended only when we were told that the keys would only be returned 45 minutes later and ended with his shouting "I hope that your son will be a soldier and will be wounded while he is serving. We left the place without waiting for the keys.

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.
