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

<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
