Israeli bulldozers escorted by policemen and Special Forces on Monday razed a stockyard and a structure as well as a wall in Rahat city in Negev at the pretext of lacking construction permits.
Sa’id Al-Kharoumi Arab deputy in the Israeli Knesset underlined that the pace of demolition dramatically escalated during the term of the incumbent Israeli extremist right-wing government especially after the racist Jewish Home party took over the Negev file.
He stressed that all the Israeli attempts to displace and expel Palestinians from the Negev have failed as they are adamant on staying on their land and are steadfast despite Israeli harassment and anti-Arab policies.
Kharoumi told Quds Press that 1158 homes and structures were demolished in the Negev last year which is likely to increase this year.
