Habla
07:00 We arrive to see a long line of people waiting at the gate. A military vehicle arrives and the soldiers get organized to start working.
07:10 Five people are allowed through the gate and are checked through.
We remained at this gate till 07:40. When we left there were approximately 40 people waiting to go through. Progress through the gate was very slow taking approximately 5 to 10 minutes for each group of five
.
Several vehicles were passed through as well (donkey, bulldozer, and a car)
Those who came through the gate complained to us about the new hours of operation at this gate and the slow processing. We returned to the area close to 10 AM and met several people who said that some didn’t get through till 9 AM which is a late start for the work day.
Azzun
07:50 We were surprised to see a fully manned military hummer at the entrance to Azun (just outside of the yellow gate). The soldiers did not stop anyone but were just there. We passed by again close to 09:00 AM and the vehicle was still there.
Flamia
08:10 The gate was open, one or two people crossed without delay.

On Route 55 we noticed several more hummers parked along the side of the road.

'Anabta CP
The checkpoint is located south of the village of 'Anabta, at the intersection of Road 60 (leading to Nablus at the entrance to Area A), with Road (57, 557, 5576) facing west towards the Einav settlement and the checkpoint at the exit from the West Bank - Figs checkpoint. Until 2010 we used to watch the intersection and report the long columns created due to a slow inspection of the vehicles in both directions.

'Azzun
See all reports for this place-
Azoun (updated February 2019)
A Palestinian town situated in Area B (under civil Palestinian control and Israeli security control),
on road 5 between Nablus and Qalqiliya, east of Nabi Elias village. The inhabitants are allowed to construct and improve infrastructures. The Separation Fence has confiscated lands belonging to the town's people. In 2018 olive tree groves owned by one of its inhabitants were confiscated for the sake of paving a road to bypass Nabi Elias. Azoun population numbers 13,000, its economic state dire. Its infrastructures are poor, neglect and poverty rampant. In the meantime, the town council has completed paving an internal road for the inhabitants' welfare.
Because of its proximity to the Jewish settler-colony of Karnei Shomron and its outposts, the town suffers the intense presence of the Israeli army, especially at nighttime: soldiers enter homes, arrest suspects, trash the house and sometimes ruin it, as they do in numerous places in the West Bank. At times a checkpoint closes the entrance to the town, so no one can come in or get out.

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.
