Since Friday, 15 families from Kiryat Arba' have been staying on "Mitzpeh Avichai", a hill next to the family of Hallel Ariel, who was murdered by a terrorist in her bedroom the day before. They want to build a new neighborhood there.

The families have received support from ministers, Knesset members and others who have visited them in the course of their condolence calls to the Ariel family. One of them expressed hope for government action on their behalf as early as this week.
