Noteworthy, the house is close to an illegal Israeli outpost in Khallet An-Nahla and the occupation intends to open a colonial road and connect the settlements of the area to each other.

Mizher does not have any other plot to build a house for his family, and he dreams of a stabled home for his children which is a basic right granted by international conventions and agreements.
