Habla - complaints about a rude soldier
A quiet day. Only one soldier disturbed the peace.
07:15 – The checkpoint opened and people were sent in groups of 5 for inspection by the soldiers. Today people were passing through – there were quite a few and many vehicles at the passage for vehicles since the gate for pedestrians was not able to be opened. Suddenly, we heard shouts from one of the soldiers – expelling rudely some of the people to the back of the line. The commander calmed him down. Also one of the people passing through complained about the soldiers shouting at them and talking to them in a very coarse way. A minibus also went through with women teachers from the Bedouin school The inspections were quite thorough.
It is amazing that recently we have not seen the girls from the Bedouin tribes who live in the area in between the fence and the green line travelling to the high school in Habla. We will try to clarify the reason the next time we are here.
08:05 – Everyone went through and the area is empty. Only a few more come through, plus a few cars.
08:12 – They close the gate.

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.
