‘Azzun ‘Atma, Habla, Eliyahu Gate, Shavei Shomron, Shufa
Peace and quiet and very green at last. The coffee kids are only on the Palestinian side of the checkpoint at ‘Azzun ‘Atma. The fence is not yet ready and it seems it will take a lot longer to complete. The bypass road is already connected to the old highway at one end and almost connected at the other end, but the lights are already in place along the whole length.
06:20 ‘Azzun ‘Atma.
There are about 30 people at the checkpoint, which is a short line for this hour; but fewer are getting through because of the expectation of rain.
Two coffee kids are seen, only on the Palestinian side of the checkpoint as they certainly are not allowed to cross over by the soldiers who are not at all happy to see us. One of them physically threatened me, really shoved me into the another soldier, chest to chest, after I told him that only the police had jurisdiction over us; I was standing on the sidewalk, actually outside of the checkpoint, but not behind the fence where he wanted me to go. Then, in spite of all this, he then moved and stood in front of me so as to hide the checkpoint from my view. His commander arrived and things calmed down.
The checkpoint operated quietly and even though the line sometimes lengthened, it also shortened at other times.
07:10 Habla
The gate was open, the teachers' bus to Arav Ramadin passed through. They told us that, starting tomorrow, 6.1.15, the children will be on vacation for two weeks. But the chidrens' bus to Habla did not go through – maybe the vacation is slightly different in different places?
At about 08:00 the line grew, but everyone went through and at 08:10 the checkpoint closed.
Eliyahu checkpoint
There is no one waiting in the pedestrian line and only a small number of vehicles are waiting for inspection. At the entrance to ‘Azzun there was a military jeep; the gates were open.
Shavei Shomron
The checkpoint was open. The road from the junction of road 60 and road 57, in the direction of Nablus, almost a highway, is excellent. Also at the entrance to Deir Sharaf there is a roundabout. Certainly an improvement, thank to the U.S.
‘Anabta – checkpoint open.
09:15 Shufa checkpoint/Izbin Shufa is open and 2 soldiers are on guard. We note that there is not an open passage between the 2 villages.

'Anabta CP
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.

A Palestinian village of about 1,800 residents. The settlement of Sha'arei Tikva was established on its land adjacent to it, and the settlement of Oranit was established on its agricultural lands. By 2013, the separation fence had passed through the village and a checkpoint staffed by the army allowed the residents to cross from side to side. After building a massive wall surrounding the village and some of its agricultural lands, the residents went daily for five years to their lands that remained in the Seam Zone through the Oranit agricultural checkpoint (4). Since 2018 it has only opened during the olive harvest and the farmers have to pass daily at the Beit Amin / Abu Salman checkpoint (1447), about 3 kilometers north.From a report from March 24, 2021: "The farmers from Beit Amin and Azon Atma are happy that since February 21 the Oranit checkpoint .is going to be open 3 times a day, The farmers are really developing the place."
Report from July 14, 2024: "Ornit checkpoint is closed . The Beit Amin/Abu Salman agricultural checkpoint is closed (there is no contact with the military to check if it opens rarely), the Ezbat Jaloud checkpoint was opened once a day before the war.
