Falamiya, Habla Checkpoint (1393)
Falamiya
The gate wasn’t open when we arrived, although we had ascertained at the DCO when it would be opened. The locals however knew when the gate would be opened. As there were only two persons waiting we left before the gate was opened.
Habla
The gate was opened at the right hour and there was a very lively traffic in both directions. On the way to Habla there was a man who collected the IDs from the people, and the checks were conducted quickly and pleasantly, as two of the soldiers in the crew spoke Arabic. All the same, to see small children returning home with mother or father and are obliged to pass by soldiers with guns, is a sight that is always disturbing.
We also visited at Azzun. The entrance was open, and there were works conducted on the roads in the village.

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.
