WEST BANK (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime occupation authorities on Tuesday demolished all the tents and structures in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Araqeeb in the Negev desert for the 233rd time, displacing its residents, the Palestinian Information Center reported.
According to local sources, the regime’s police forces and employees from the Authority for Development and Settlement of the Bedouin in the Negev — which is responsible for such demolitions — stormed the village and leveled everything.
The occupying regime’s police also kidnapped Sheikh Sayyah at-Tawri, chief of the village, and his son Aziz.
As a result of the occupation’s actions, dozens of Bedouin, including children, have become homeless once again during the harsh winter months.
An estimated 80,000 Bedouin Palestinians live in several Negev communities, which are often denied vital services, including water, electricity and educational facilities.
The demolition of Al-Araqeeb and other villages in the Negev is believed to be a systematic Israeli policy aimed at expelling the native population and transferring them to regime-zoned areas to pave the way for the expansion of Jewish-only communities.
