'Azzun 'Atma, Habla

6:00 Azzun Atma

When we arrived there was no line at the checkpoint but slowly it did grow longer. One of the soldiers was curious as to what was MachsomWatch and wanted to know why there are only women active in it. He went on claiming that the occupied territories were ours because we had captured them and that the country has always been ours. We tried to explain but he was stuck to his opinion .

We were officially  informed that  this checkpoint would be removed at the end of the month and workers would be referred to the Eyal passage (It can always be worse).

7:00  Habla   

The line is short. Teachers who teach at Arab el Ramadin  come out of inspection to the pink van. Later another van arrives on site with pupils. More  people keeps coming but the line stays short. Also came some donkey carts trying to enter Habla. We have asked one of them where he was coming from and it turns out that he lives in Qalqilya but can get there only through the Habla gate.

On the way to Azzun we saw a military Jeep near the entrance. After 20 minutes it was gone.
