‘Anabta, Eliyahu Crossing, Habla, Te’enim Crossing, Wed 4.8.10, Morning
Translation: Suzanne O.
Chabla
6:50 a.m.
Some 40 people are queuing by the gate. Every 5 minutes a group of 5 exits from the inspection.
We noticed that women were given preferential treatment by the residents.
Complaint: 3 residents from Chabla complained that they had to produce magnetic cards in order to leave the village; however, 2 of them were told that they were 'prohibited' by the Shabak or the police and refused a magnetic card.
They are not aware of who prohibits them or why. One of them is married to an Israeli woman from Jaljulia who is bringing up their three children.
We gave them the telephone numbers of our activists who help those who are denied access.
Eliahu Crossing
7:25 a.m.
Some 30 people are queuing under the awning. They exit from the inspection in threes. When asked they told us they had waited an hour and a half to cross. According to some of them, the situation has worsened and the inspections are slower.
Ja'yus
8:15 a.m.
The gate is still open and only two Palestinians are queuing: an older person and a youth. Near them are two representatives of the Ecumenical Organisation A.A.P.P., both of them 'priests' (pastors). The woman is South African and the man Swiss. The Palestinian man complained that a soldier had taken his 'permit' away because it was given to him for a crossing that is no longer functioning.
Important information: they told us about a Palestinian village by the name of 'Yanun' not far from Ja'us surrounded by settlements which are conspiring against them all the time. We did not find a place with that name on the map.
News from the residents of A-Sharf – the road to Jenin is open. We saw a considerable amount of traffic in both directions on this road.
Anabta
9:50 a.m.
The road is open in both directions. There is no queue.
Ma'avar Te'enim
10:05 a.m.
We had a discussion with the commander of the crossing about the opening of the gate to Jubara, the road is barred by 3 barriers, and he suggested that we go to the roadblock on foot or drive to Taibeh and from there to the roadblock by car.
Due to the weather today, we waived the option of walking.

'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.

Eliyahu CP (109) / Crossing This checkpoint, also known as the Fruit Crossing, is one of the main checkpoints between Israel and the West Bank. It is located on Route 55 between Alfei Menashe and the turn to Qalqilya and Zufin, more than 4 km east of the Green Line, in the separation fence, which separates Qalqilya from its lands to the south, thus leaving Alfei Menashe West of the fence - the Seam Zone. This checkpoint, a few kilometers across the Green Line, is intended for "Israeli settlement in the West Bank and the population of the Seam Zone." It is managed by a civil company. Palestinians with a special permit for their lands in the seam area are also allowed to pass through it, on foot, and sometimes by car.

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.
