Daoud indicated that the total length of the roads that are being constructed is more than 6 km, of which 2 km are in the agricultural plain and the rest are in the mountainous region.

Joseph Ayoub, a resident of Al-Hawash, stressed the importance of the initiative and cooperation with the town council in opening roads, whether in order to serve agricultural lands or facilitate the work of firefighting mechanisms in the event of any fire.
