Habla Checkpoint (1393)
The occupation routine – everything’s pleasant, friendly, smiling but – it’s a checkpoint, not the freedom to live on your land as you please.
06:25 The soldiers are here already and, in fact, at 06:30 the first people go through.
As always, people with bicycles or a vehicle or a cart cross on foot for document inspection, leave the ID with the soldier at the inspection station and then return to pick up the wheels/horse/donkey, receive the ID and then to “Israel,” which is really Palestine in the seam zone.
As 07:00 approaches the line evaporates and then is repopulated again and a worker from the plant nursery arrives to organize it and hasten the crossing through an inspection point in the shed in addition to one in the building.
Cars, horse and donkey carts, trucks and many bicycles go through.
07:15 The teachers’ bus to the elementary school in ‘Arab Ramadin crosses and at 07:20 the girls from ‘Arab Ramadin come through on their way to the high school in Habla.
The line grew but everyone managed to cross before 07:45, when the gate is scheduled to close, and it in fact closes at that time.

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.
