Habla Checkpoint (1393)
We arrived at 06:35, the gate was shut, we contacted DCO Ephraim and were informed of the change: The opening hours of the gate are from 07:00 to 08:10. There were many persons waiting. The checking began as usual with the quintet system. Later they added a manual check at the watchmen’s shed, fearing they wouldn’t cope with all.
There was an innovation at the CP – tar is scattered or rather tar grains to prevent floodings and mud. While we were standing there a tender with commanders stopped near us for a conversation (they know Shoshi). When we asked about the change in opening hours they assured us that the Palestinians are aware of them as they informed the head of the council. They told us that they were trying to catch the persons going out to work in Israel and not in their own agricultural plots.
At 08:10 the checking was finished and the gates were closed.

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.
