A fight broke out over the coins among residents of the area, which was ended when Hamas-controlled police intervened. The police then confiscated the coins and other archaeological objects that were dug up accidentally, and the Gaza City municipality announced a halt to all construction work in the neighborhood until an archaeologist could properly inspect the scene.
