The 3araneyet are located near (but outside) the old 7isbeh, on the jabbeneh (= cemetary) wall which has been renovated this year. They should go away, they opened a new 7isbeh for them on the new autostrad free of charge for the sellers BUT only accessible to people with cars, hence slow business for those who respected the municipal decree. There are no buildings in the area... No locals.
Anyway, the ISF and army should use the force if they have to.
