Morning

Jubara

They opened the gate to let us
through and on the other side there were 2 Palestinians asking to drive
on to Tulkarem. They said that yesterday they had been permitted to
enter this way. They have farmland in Jubara. Their explanations did
not help. We took them to the Children’s gate, and there they were
checked and let through. We continued to Ar-Ras, and there was no roadblock!
We drove on towards Tulkarm to the hill opposite the roadblock at Jubara,and there was no roadblock.

Anabta

There was a tractor working on
both sides of the roadblock. When we arrived the soldiers brought out
the old orange sign. We tried to take pictures, but the soldier would
not let us. We said that it is allowed and after some negotiating he
took the sign away. There was little traffic, but this time the soldiers
checked every car at the entrance and there was a line.

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.
