Eliyahu Crossing, Habla, Sun 22.4.12, Afternoon
Hablah + meeting with Suliman, head of the Hirbat Aslah council
12:45 Habla, meeting with the MachsonWatch tour for English speakers,
mostly young men at the plant nursery.
3 young men waiting in the shed, one a resident of Hablah and 2 from
Qalqilya. They say that the line at the exit is very long in the morning,
and that the gate opened at 07:00, they only got out at 08:00 and got to
work late. They requested that the gate open at 06:00. We suggested that
they prepare a list of names and ID numbers to give to the DCO, added to the
request.
12:50 A military vehicle arrives and the gate opens on time.
A young man goes through with 3 plastic bags. The soldier asks him to open
the bags, in which is used clothing. He is forbidden to bring the clothing
through the gate which is supposed to be for agricultural produce only. You
can bring other things through the Eliyahu gate, but the man's permit is
only for the Hablah gate. The bags are thrown into a field of thorns.
Those are the laws!
13:05 A large group of children passes through the gate toward the shed.
They finished their studies early and are waiting for the bus.
13:10 We leave.

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.
