At the end of our shift, one of our acquaintances asks us: “how was it? Alright?”

So there, on the road leading from the checkpoint to the plant nurseries there stands “as usual” a military vehicle, out of which one of the soldiers, who were sitting there, comes out when the people begin emerging out of the CP.

People “naturally” stand and wait by the closed CP even before – 07:00.

The CP operators arrive at 07:10 only.

At 07:16 they begin allowing the first people intended to be checked, to enter, and they come out two minutes later. At the same time the teachers’ vehicle arrives, and leaves the CP five minutes later.

A father of nine from Ras Attia wishes to make a living but is forbidden to pass, because in the past he was caught without a permit. We give him the details of the crew that takes care of such cases.

08:13 – the last people pass and the CP is closed.

So, “how was it? Alright?”

    • 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.
