Habla 06:10
The gate is open but the inspection booth isn’t operating – there’s no electricity.
The staff prepares to work manually. People display their permit as they enter and state their ID number to the female MP. Initially it’s slow, but then traffic flows.
One of the laborers keeps the line orderly. We see children who accompany their parents, because summer vacation has begun. Inspections continue. A horse cart filled with empty sacks goes through. The soldier inspects them one by one. A guy arrives on an electric bicycle; the soldier sends him back because he doesn’t have a specific permit for the bike.
It’s 07:30, they hurry the inspection, long lines at the MP recording the ID numbers. We had to leave.

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.
