Israeli occupation demolishes Al-Araqib Bedouin village for 185th time

Reports said an Israeli force raided the village, which is rebuilt by its
residents after each time it has been demolished, and removed all the tents
and destroyed the tin shelters placed on the land by the residents to
provide a roof over their heads in the cold winter weather, leaving them
homeless.

Al-Araqib was demolished for the first time in 2000. The last time the
demolition took place was on March 11. Today’s demolition is the fourth so
far this year.

‘Israel’ does not “recognise” the village, but its residents point out that
they own the land and have done since the Ottoman period, decades before
‘Israel’ was created in occupied Palestine.

Despite the repeated demolitions, every time the residents of Al-Araqib
rebuild their tents and small homes. However, the occupation forces return
to raze them, sometimes several times in a month.

Al-Araqib village is one of 51 “unrecognised” Arab villages in the area,
and is constantly targeted for demolition by Israeli bulldozers, for which
Bedouins are then charged.
