A police helicopter flew over the area while the police surrounded the home in question to prevent the residents from approaching it.

Dozens of residents gathered at the entrance of the Industrial Zone on Road 444 (Teereh-Taybeh Road) in an attempt to march to the city to prevent the demolishing of the home.
