Falamiya North Checkpoint (914), Falamiya South Checkpoint (935), Habla, Jayyus
An extended shift with explanation about the separation obstacle, the enclaves and the settlements in order to enable the guests to get acquainted with the seamline zone, after the tour they registered for had been cancelled.
11:15 The Hani gate, this time without the appearance of the police or the settlers, just misery about the heap of garbage that is piling up and which completely blocks the approach to the Palestinian olive trees for which the gate is being opened during the olive picking season. This year we did not succeed to get any information about when, if at all, the gate would be opened.
11:30 Oranit CP. Last time when we were there we were told that it would be opened at 14:30. It was good to clarify this and to arrive for a short shift.
12:40 After a visit with Z. who was happy to receive tools and electrical and electronic instruments, we arrived at the Falamiya North (914) CP. A few tractors are waiting beyond the fence. The soldiers arrive a few minutes too late. When the people pass they stop to greet us. One who looks about 45 years old, tells us that he has a permit for two years and that now he obtained one for his son too. He has a lemon grove. Another, on foot, gets excited about the French visitors. His son who joins us a few minutes later with the tractor, has studied French and French literature at the An-Najjah university but can’t find work and works with his father at the family plot.
It transpires that at night the gate is opened very late, after 18:00. They first open at Jayyus
Some other tractors and carts pass, we continue explaining about the plots which were returned for more intensive processing, after the fence had been moved westwards.
13:05 Falamiya SouthJayyus West (935) CP. A few young men with full sacks wait near us, on the other side there is a tractor. The military car arrives. It waits till 13:15 to open.
Tractors and people pass in both directions, all are from Jayyus. Suddenly a cart harnessed to a donkey and driven by a child arrives. He came to fetch his big brother, all from Arab A-Ramadin (near Tzofin) who work on the “Palestinian side”. They load the goods and return home.
We continued by way of Jiyus to Alfey Menashe for the books on the conclave and the change of the fence route, and then to the Habla CP, after its closing.

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.

Jayyus Village. Some of its lands were separated from the village when the separation barrier was first built. The wall is very close to the village itself and access to a large part of its lands was exproptiated. After a petition to the High Court that was convinced that there was no security ground for the route of the barrier, the barrier was moved and some of the lands were returned to the village.
