Habla
We arrived at 06:30. Just then Palestinian workers began coming out of the CP. Later we were told that today the soldiers were 15 minutes late opening the CP. And whoever arrives at the CP after 07:30, even if the CP is still active, is not allowed to pass, as though he’s asking to be served by a teller at the bank.
Disciplining and imposing "order" on people waiting on both sides of the CP (first pedestrians, later "vehicles" – cars and carts hitched to horses and donkeys). As time passes the gestures ordering people to proceed to the checking booth seem more patronizing.
We saw two men who were not permitted to leave Habla and had to return empty-handed, and also more people than usual who buckle their belts after the checking.
07.55– The closure of the CP
The soldiers begin singing "Beautiful Israel"… while closing the CP at 07:56. Naïve belief? Cynicism? Eyes wide-shut.

Habla CP (1393)
The Habla checkpoint (1393) was established on the lands of the residents of Qalqilya, on the short road that
connected it for centuries to the nearby town of Habla. The separation barrier intersects this road twice and cut off the residents of Qalqilya from their lands in the seam zone.(between the fence and the green line).
There is a passage under Road 55 that connects Qalqilya to the sabotage This agricultural barrier is used by the farmers and nursery owners established along Road 55 from the Green Line and on both sides of the kurkar road leading to the checkpoint.
This agricultural checkpoint serves the residents of Arab a-Ramadin al-Janoubi (detached from the West Bank), who pass through it to the West Bank and back to their homes. The opening hours (3 times a day) of this agricultural checkpoint are longer than usual, about an hour (recently shortened to 45 minutes), and are coordinated with the transportation hours of a-Ramadin children studying in the occupied in the West Bank.
