Afternoon

Posters in bright colours, saying "A Jewish soldier is good for Jews", have been posted in all the main junctions. An attempt draw a parallel between the riots in Acre and the pogrom carried out by settlers from Yitshar in the neighbouring village of Asira el Qibliya is voiced in more posters that say, "An Arab policeman is good for the Arabs, as was demonstrated in the incidents of Acre and the Jewish policeman is good for the Jews, demonstrated in the Yitshar incidents". Enclosed to Beit Iba report are pictures we took in Jit.

Because of the strike at Nablus University, the traffic at all the checkpoints is scarce. The students stay at home. According to passers-by, the reason for the strike is budget.

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.
