Morning

06:40 – The traffic through the gates info-icon is reasonable. At the exit, a few cars are waiting for inspection.

Checkpoint 442

When we arrive, 12 cars are in line. The check is random and takes 5-6 minutes, on average. It is carried out mainly by an adult volunteer from the seam-line. There is also a dog there.

A pickup truck of a nearby nursery has been detained for 10 minutes. We wait until his documents are returned and go on to Beit Iba.

Location Description

Qalqiliya checkpoint

See all reports for this place

Qalqilya is surrounded on all sides by the separation barrier. The only exit from the city is in the east of the city on the road that leaves the city in an easterly direction. This is where the checkpoint was located. When the checkpoint was active until 2009 our shifts watched long queues of cars being inspected at the only exit from the city to the West Bank. The checkpoint was canceled, but there is a military presence at the entrance to the city.
