2 checking areas, one in each direction and the cars are not checked.

9:00 Jubara

There are two blindfolded detainees in an army car who had been caught according to the soldier in Tulkarm and had intended to carry out a terrorist activity in Natanya and Tel Aviv. Another soldier who opens the gate for us says that they had intended to carry out a shooting attack in Shave Shomron some weeks ago.

At the Childrens's gate is a detainee who is a security risk and his ID is being checked but when we came back at 9:40 he was no longer there.

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.
