Translator: Charles K.
Azzun Atma – 06:00. A long line, approximately 150 people
The laborers put down large bundles of food, etc., before getting on line. After their documents are inspected at the window they collect their belongings for inspection by the MP at the exit.
Two inspection windows open, but crossing goes slowly.
The Hansen CO. laborers are changing shifts. The Hansen plant is located west to the green line.
Next to the inspection area there is a row of helmets on the ground.
06:30 – The line begins to shorten; it’s now half as long.
A laborer is detained; some phone calls and he’s released a few minutes later.
07:30 Habla– The line isn’t very long; it includes a few cars.
The big gate is closed; here’s the procedure when cars go through: A Palestinian with a car who wishes to enter Habla walks into the inspection building with his ID card. He exits, and on his wayback to the car leaves his ID with the MP at the entrance. He himself opens the big gate, drives the car through. The MP inspects the documents and the car’s interior. Then the Palestinian is allowed to enter his village.
We went through the Eliyahu crossing in order to see the “park.” There was a short line of laborers and a few cars being inspected. We were stopped, asked whence and whither

'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.

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.Ronit Dahan-RamatiApr-25-2025Habla Checkpoint: system of gates
