Israel demolishes al-Araqib village for 201st time

Monday 9-May-2022

Israeli police forces demolished on Monday the Palestinian Bedouin village Al-Araqib in the southern Negev region for the 201st time.

The village was demolished for the fifth time since the start of the year.

Over the past year the Bedouin village was repeatedly destroyed for 14 times.

Homes in Al-Araqib inhabited by 22 Palestinian families are built of wood and plastic.

The village was first destroyed in 2010 and rebuilt after every demolition since then. Israeli authorities claim that the site falls under “state land.”

Israeli officials seek to seize control of the lands and expel its residents with dozens of other villages and Bedouin communities facing the same threat in the Negev area.
