Habla Checkpoint (1393)
Habla CP
The occupation routine… There are those who compliment the soldiers, but all told, everything is depressing.
So what if they “treat the people who cross over well”? It still is the occupation, and one needs a permit to reach one’s place of work!
06:20 The soldiers are already here but it takes them another 5 minutes to open the gates, while the main gate which serves to reach the plant nurseries remains closed but isn’t locked, and the persons who pass by it have each time to open and close it.
The people at the entrance to the passage lane push and quarrel a bit, but quickly somebody takes commands and arranges the queue, and peace is maintained. The passage is quick.
Bicycle riders are pestered and are asked – after they have passed the checking in the building, the magnometer and all the rest, to open their sacks and bags again and to show everything. One had also to undergo a corporal check and was patted up and down.
When somebody doesn’t shut the gate after passing, a soldier comes and does 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.
