Habla Checkpoint (1393)
The gate was supposed to open at 6:15. We saw the workers gathered together and the cars behind the gate. The soldiers only arrived at 6:55. When we questioned this, one of them answered that there had been an “incident”; after another question, he said there had been an explosive device near Tzofin.
.
The soldiers started with the familiar vehicles from the nursery. At the same time, they passed the workers through in groups of five. A minibus arrived with teachers who teach in the school in Arab el-Ramadin. They tell the teachers to get out of the vehicle and stand alongside it in a line.
Then the driver takes their ID and hands it to the Military Police for checking. The soldier then returns the IDs to the driver, 2 at a time, after checking their faces in the photo. The driver returns them to the women teachers and they return to the minibus. What humiliation….
At the same time, the students from Arab el-Ramadin arrive at the school in Hablah. At 7:45 there were still a lot of people. The soldiers, to speed things up, opened an extra line in which the workers could pass directly to the gate where they were counted.

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.
