Located at the intersection between Beit Jala and al-Walajah. Has infrastructure that includes concrete blocks, but is usually open and staffed only very rarely, without a set schedule. Until the war, the checkpoint was rarely staffed and Palestinians could cross it freely most of the time. The checkpoint was shut down on 7 October and remained closed for two months. Since December, the checkpoint has been staffed and open, subject to random checks, from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. The military sometimes, but rarely, closes the checkpoint during the day.
