| Morning

6:15 – Heavy rain, still dark.  The checkpoint is closed, but near it, on the way leading from the nurseries, a military vehicle is standing.  After a short period of time, the vehicles turns in the direction of road #55 and the checkpoint remains closed.  Meanwhile, people have gathered, wanting to go out in the direction of Habla.  More and more people continue to come, as well as vehicles carrying plants and merchandise for the stores near the checkpoint.  And the checkpoint is closed.

At 6:45 we rang the DCO.  The officer, A., answered and said that the car was on its way to the checkpoint carrying the soldiers who were supposed to operate it.

7:12 – the car arrived on the “patrol road”, with soldiers.  The system of the groups of 5 (people approach the turnstyle in groups of 5, wait, go to the inspection room and exit together) is still preserved and the vehicles are checked simultaneously.

7:43 – about 30 people still waiting next to the entrance to the checkpoint from the direction of Habla.

7:54 – The last 9 people being checked have exited the checkpoint.  The checkpoint is closed.

We got the impression that there were more military vehicles than usual in the last few days;  they traveled on road #55, in the area next to the checkpoint and also between the buildings which are in the fields next to it.

    • 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.
