07:00  Habla –
About 20 people at the checkpoint.  One comes through:  “Today’s OK.”

The usual procedure:  5 people run toward the inspection booths, remain there a few minutes and quickly leave the checkpoint.  Today inspections are relatively rapid, 3-4 minutes.

Yael knows one of the people being inspected, a worker in the nursery located about 200 meters from the checkpoint.  He’s also checked every day, of course, on his way to the nursery.

 

07:45 – About 4-5 people at the checkpoint.  We left.

 

8:45 Ras Atiya –
One car being inspected.  No other people waiting at the checkpoint.  A taxi driver waits for passengers; he says the checkpoint is operating in an acceptable manner.

    • 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.

    • The checkpoint is presently on the Separation Barrier roadway, manned and open 12 hours a day, from 6:30 to 18:30. West of it is the large Seam Line village whose school is attended by children from the nearby villages east of the Barrier and many of whose inhabitants have permits to work in Israel. How long this checkpoint will remain in place is unknown, since construction of the Separation Wall, just by the settlement of Alfe Menashe, east of the present Separation Barrier, is endless, as is the creation of a new road and, obviously, a new checkpoint.
