Israel carries out demolitions in Al Araqib village for 202nd time
JERUSALEM – Israeli forces have again demolished a Palestinian Bedouin village in the southern Negev region in the occupied West Bank.
Aziz al-Touri, a member of the Committee for the Defense of al-Araqib informed that Israeli forces stormed the village and brought it to the ground for the 202nd time.
Al-Touri confirmed that villagers intend to rebuild their destroyed dwellings and other structures.
“We won’t get tired or bored. We will not abandon our village as long as we are free and alive,” he added.
Al Araqib is inhabited by 22 Palestinian families. Homes in Al-Araqib are built of wood, plastic and corrugated iron.
The village was first destroyed in 2010. Israeli authorities claim that the site where it is located falls under “state land.”
Israeli authorities seek to seize control of the land and expel its residents, with dozens of villages and Bedouin communities facing the same threat in the Negev area.
Residents of Al-Araqib are Arabs who were displaced in 1951 after the new state of Israel declared the region to be ‘state land.’
