The Huwwara checkpoint or Huwara checkpoint or Hawara checkpoint ((アラビア語:حاجز حوارة)) ((ヘブライ語:מחסום חווארה), ''Makhsom Hawara'') is a major Israel Defense Forces checkpoint at one of the four main exits of Nablus. It is located south of the city. It was established on October 2000. The facility was named after the nearby village of Huwara. Conditions at Hawara were relaxed in 2009, and since then, Palestinian vehicles have sometimes faced only random inspections. ==History== In 2002, the checkpoint was open from morning to evening. Later, it remained open 24 hours a day. All vehicles were required to have special permits and be searched. In 2008, renovations were carried out to ease the overcrowding.〔(Renovations of notorious Hawara checkpoint meant to benefit soldiers and Palestinians )〕 In July 2009, the checkpoint was opened to allow pedestrians to cross freely without being searched. Vehicles were still spot checked.〔 In 2011, Israeli newspapers wrote that the IDF would remove the checkpoint.〔(''IDF to remove major West Bank checkpoint to enable Palestinian movement'' ). Chaim Levinson, Haaretz, 11 February 2011〕 According to the Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq, the checkpoint is still in use as of 2014.〔(''Palestinians Suffer Ill-Treatment at Huwwara Checkpoint'' ).
