<p>Al-Araqib was demolished for the first time in 2000. Today’s demolition is the twelfth so far this year.</p>
<p>‘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.</p>
<p>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. There 
are 22 Palestinian families living in the village.</p>
<p>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.</p>
