"The Sewage from Sha'arei Tikvah flows into ‘Azzun ‘Atma"
07:04 – ‘Azzun ‘Atma About 70 people are waiting in line at the exit. 2 gates are open. The average waiting time is 7 minutes. We spoke with a few workers who came through. Some of them are not from ‘Azzun ‘Atma, but from the surrounding villages. They claimed that the gate opened late today and, after a wait of an hour and a half, an additional gate was opened. One of them complained about the sewage which flows to their villages from the settlement of Sha'arei Tikvah. The terrible odor bothers them a lot, and the mosquitoes. He said that it is impossible to sit outside in the evening because of the stench. I would like to point out that I have heard this complaint several times already and I even wrote about it in my previous reports. Is it possible to help them? To whom should we send this complaint? Esti W. asked Nivah to give certain information to a resident of ‘Azzun (we have his name), in connection with the studies of his daughter. We asked several people, but couldn't find anyone who knew him.

'Azzun 'Atma
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.

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.
