Habla
Little details make you aware of the occupation; it's here, dominating the lives of the Palestinians who struggle to survive while the occupiers willingly enforce it.
06:00 – The soldiers have arrived and Palestinian workers are already waiting at the exit from the checkpoint. One of the Palestinians is organizing the line of people waiting to begin their day of work.
06:15 – The first five people coming from Habla cross at the checkpoint.
07:00 – The teachers' van crosses after the documents have been checked (the driver stops the engine, leaves the vehicle, walks up to the check post, returns to the van, starts the engine and drives on).
07:10 –Cars, pedestrians and people on motorbikes cross.
07:20 – The van returns with pupils. At the same time an additional van from Habla crosses.
A soldier approaches us repeating the words we have heard so many times: "Military area", "No pictures", "Soldiers posted here for tactical reasons". Then he returns to his post.
Before that, a Palestinian who crossed said to us in English: "What we need is real peace, one word – peace".
07:40 – The last five people cross. The checkpoint closes.

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.
