Gate 753
14:30 – The checkpoint is located a few hundreds meters before Ar-Ras. We see it for the first time. Cars and pedestrians are checked. Two people have been detained. To our question, the soldiers say that the two are "illegals" [in Israel without a residence permit] and that they have been detained as a deterrent.

Ar-Ras

About 10 cars stand in line. The inspection is quick.

Anabta checkpoint

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.
