Israeli authorities have reportedly demolished structures and tents in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Araqib for 214th time.
Israeli forces demolish Palestinian village in Negev for 214th time
According to local sources, Israeli police forces and employees from the Bedouin development authority — which is responsible for such demolitions — stormed the village and wreaked havoc on everything.
 
Consequently, dozens of Bedouin citizens, including children, have become homeless once again and will suffer from the harsh weather conditions of the desert for a while before they could have new makeshift homes again.
 
Araqib residents live in a constant state of fear because they expect the demolition of their village at any moment after they manage to rebuild their homes anew. About 22 families made up of 110 people live in Araqib.
 
An estimated 80,000 Bedouin Palestinians, who carry Israeli citizenship, live in several Negev communities, which are often denied vital services, including water, electricity and educational facilities.
 
The demolition of al-Araqib and other villages in the Negev is believed to be a systematic Israeli policy aimed at expelling the native population from the Negev and transferring them to government-zoned areas to pave the way to expand and build settlements for Jewish communities.
 
However, such Israeli arbitrary, criminal and inhumane policy of demolition, uprooting and displacement will only increase the Negev residents’ resolve and adherence to their lands and villages even if Israel demolishes them thousands of times.
