Habla, Azzun Atma, Beit Amin - Opening hours changed
Opening hours changed:
Habla checkpoint, 6:50-7:30
Azzun Atma checkpoint (Oranit), 6:00-6:20
Beit Amin checkpoint: 6:25-6:45
We arrived at 7:15 and the gate was already open, a lot of people went through. We heard from the soldiers (only one male and one female soldier) that the opening hours had changed, as written above. After, in the last few months, there had been a noticeable drop in the activity there, we were surprised at the crowd and the number of people going through. Some of them said that they had not yet been vaccinated; among them were also workers in the nurseries near the checkpoint.
The soldiers were very efficient; without a computer, the passage was very quick.
After the closing of the checkpoint, we visited O. He told us that they had invited him for a vaccination just now, from one minute to the next. Of course, first they had vaccinated people with connections of all sorts. He further said that, the previous day, the gate had been closed and it was impossible to open it. Everyone was sent to the Eliyahu checkpoint – a complicated issue since many of them did not have a car. We don’t really know how they managed. Afterward, he spoke in great detail about his father who is sick.

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.
