Habla
06:23 The checkpoint was already operating when we arrived. A. told us it had opened at 06:15.
The usual inspection procedure was implemented today as well, with one addition: people showed their IDs to a soldier stationed between the checkpoint entrance and the inspection building. Today people went through in groups of six.
Thrice while we were there a female soldier emerged from the inspection building and called to the soldier at the exit. After inspecting their documents it was he who told three people (one each time) to go back to Habla/Qalqilya. After inspecting the documents the soldier sometimes rummages through the bags in which people carry their personal items.
07:08 and07:14 Two vehicles carrying teachers left Habla. A “representative” on each bus gathered the passengers’ IDs and brought them to the inspection point.
07:24 The school bus arrived and continued to Habla without being delayed.
07:30 The checkpoint closed and we left.
Later A. told us that at 18:14 yesterday evening a tractor arrived at the checkpoint loaded with agricultural produce for the market in the Nablus area. The soldier at the Habla checkpoint didn’t allow it to enter even though the checkpoint is supposed to close at 18:30. Complaining to the DCL didn’t help and the merchandise couldn’t be brought to its destination. Today A. complained to the officer who came to the checkpoint, who said he’d look into it.

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.
