‘Anabta, Habla, Ras ‘Atiya, Thu 5.11.09, Morning
The gate is open and there is still a queue going through. A Palestinian says that they opened the gate at 06:40. A soldier that approaches us says that they were there at 06:15 and that they opened at 06:20 – they were early according to him. Occasionally other workers join the queue. They are inspected in threes. In 10 minutes 13 people go through.
07:25 Ras A Tia
No one is waiting. Many children pass on their way to school, including two buses. A soldier boards one bus for inspection. A car arrives and passes in a minute having had an inspection of documents, without the passenger leaving the car. Other cars – all their passengers are sent to be inspected in the inspection booth, then the passengers cross over on foot and the driver takes the car through, the checkpoint where it is checked.
Two guys are waiting for their friend, on the Israeli side. He was not let through despite having all the necessary papers and having been going through every single day for the past year. We called the DCO, It turns out the guy has returned more than once through a different place. According to the DCO if it happens once you receive a caution but if it happens more than once you have to go and cancel the complaint against you at the DCO. Otherwise the soldiers are not allowed to let you through(?) – some punishment? And this although we had heard that one is allowed to return through any gate at all.
And what happens if the soldiers miswrite the number when he goes through? Then he has to waste a whole day's work in order to go to the DCO which is only open during working hours, when he is supposed to be at work!!!
The passage to Azzun is open and at Shvut Ami there is no sign of life.
09:20 Anabta
There are no soldiers at the checkposts. By the checkpoint there are many soldiers. They appear to be on training. They pay no heed to those going through, apart from one soldier who gestures occasionally to those who hesitate to go through.

'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.

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.

Ras 'Atiya
See all reports for this place-
The checkpoint is presently on the Separation Barrier roadway, manned and open 12 hours a day, from 6:30 to 18:30. West of it is the large Seam Line village whose school is attended by children from the nearby villages east of the Barrier and many of whose inhabitants have permits to work in Israel. How long this checkpoint will remain in place is unknown, since construction of the Separation Wall, just by the settlement of Alfe Menashe, east of the present Separation Barrier, is endless, as is the creation of a new road and, obviously, a new checkpoint.
