An ordinary occupation day. The children have vacation and also some of the adults.
6:20 Azun Atmeh
Checkpoint almost empty. Anyone who comes, goes through quickly. According to the EAPPI staff, who were on the other side of the fence from us and arrived at 5:40, there were a lot of people, but those operating the checkpoint were very efficient. There are not a lot of people outside, and our feeling was that were fewer than usual. And, in fact, it turned out to be the day on which Muhammad had arrived in Jerusalem and went up to heaven on his horse, so it was a kind of holiday! The children also did not go to school, which meant that few grown-ups were able to go out to work. Four coffee-kids were at the checkpoint trying to persuade people to drink their coffee. the Palestinians say that on Sunday there was a lot of confusion because of the military police who harassed those going through and kept closing the checkpoint.
7:05 Hablah
Also here there were not long lines, and the whole time up until the closing of the gates there was not really a serious line. By 8, everyone had gone through,including vehicles and the sheep going out to graze and this time they look quite clean and nice, after a shearing, without all the mud that clings to their coats during the winter. The children's buses did not arrive – they were on vacation.

'Azzun 'Atma
A Palestinian village of about 1,800 residents. The settlement of Sha'arei Tikva was established on its land adjacent to it, and the settlement of Oranit was established on its agricultural lands. By 2013, the separation fence had passed through the village and a checkpoint staffed by the army allowed the residents to cross from side to side. After building a massive wall surrounding the village and some of its agricultural lands, the residents went daily for five years to their lands that remained in the Seam Zone through the Oranit agricultural checkpoint (4). Since 2018 it has only opened during the olive harvest and the farmers have to pass daily at the Beit Amin / Abu Salman checkpoint (1447), about 3 kilometers north.From a report from March 24, 2021: "The farmers from Beit Amin and Azon Atma are happy that since February 21 the Oranit checkpoint .is going to be open 3 times a day, The farmers are really developing the place."
Report from July 14, 2024: "Ornit checkpoint is closed . The Beit Amin/Abu Salman agricultural checkpoint is closed (there is no contact with the military to check if it opens rarely), the Ezbat Jaloud checkpoint was opened once a day before the war.

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.
