<p>Israeli authorities demolished the Palestinian Bedouin village of
Al-Araqeeb in the southern Negev for the 192nd time on Thursday. The
Bedouin families of Al-Araqeeb rebuild the village every time Israeli
authorities demolish it.</p>
<p>The village was first levelled in July 2010, and every time the
residents of Al-Araqeeb rebuild their tents and small homes, occupation
forces return to raze them, sometimes several times in a month.</p>

<p>Located in the Negev (Naqab) desert, the village is one of 51
“unrecognized” Arab villages in the area and is constantly targeted for
demolition ahead of plans to Judaize the Negev by building homes for new
Jewish communities.</p>
<p>Israeli bulldozers, which Bedouins are charged for, demolish
everything, from the trees to the water tanks, but Bedouin residents
have tried to rebuild it every time.</p>

<p>Bedouins in the Negev must abide by the same laws as Jewish Israeli
citizens. They pay taxes but do not enjoy the same rights and services
as Jews in Israel and the state has repeatedly refused to connect the
towns to the national grid, water supplies, and other vital amenities.</p>
