Israeli occupation forces this morning demolished the Arab village of 
Al-Araqeeb in the Negev, south of Israel, for the 145th 
time, Arab48 reported.

Local witnesses said that Israeli forces raided the village in the 
morning, protecting bulldozers that demolished the houses of the villagers.

The Israeli occupation police have been preparing for the demolition 
since Wednesday as they raided the village.

Al-Araqeeb was last demolished just two weeks ago.

Residents are accused of building without licenses and have been fined 
hundreds of thousands of dollars to cover the cost of demolition.

Al-Araqeeb is one of 51 Arab villages in the Negev the Israeli 
occupation authorities do not recognize and has been targeted for 
demolition ahead of building homes for new Jewish communities.

Israel has imposed fines on the villagers of Al-Araqeeb worth millions 
of dollars, Quds Press said and charges them for the use of the Israeli 
bulldozers which carry out the demolition of their homes.

    Al-Araqeeb represents the story of all of Palestine and its people.

Israeli courts decide that the owners of the unlicensed homes must 
demolish them, but when they fail to do so, Israeli bulldozers carry out 
the demolitions and the owners are ordered to pay for the bulldozers.

In 1969, Israel called on Arab landowners to register their land with 
the authorities, but since then they have not accepted any of the 
applications made by Arab residents of the Negev.
