<p>RAMALLAH, (PIC)</p>



<p>The Israeli authorities demolished on Tuesday morning all the tents 
and structures in the Palestinian Bedouin village of Araqib in the Negev
 desert for the 233rd consecutive time, displacing its Bedouin 
residents.</p>



<p>According to local sources, Israeli police forces and employees from 
the Bedouin development authority — which is responsible for such 
demolitions — stormed the village and wreaked havoc on everything.</p>



<p>The Israeli police also kidnaped Sheikh Sayyah at-Tawri, chief of the village, and his son Aziz.</p>



<p>Consequently, dozens of Bedouin citizens, including children, have 
become homeless once again and will suffer from the harsh weather 
conditions of the desert for a while before they could have new 
makeshift homes again.</p>



<p>Araqib residents live in a constant state of fear because they expect
 the demolition of their village at any moment after they manage to 
rebuild their homes. About 80 people live in crude homes in Araqib.</p>



<p>An estimated 80,000 Bedouin Palestinians, who carry Israeli 
citizenship, live in several Negev communities, which are often denied 
vital services, including water, electricity and educational facilities.</p>



<p>The demolition of al-Araqib and other villages in the Negev is 
believed to be a systematic Israeli policy aimed at expelling the native
 population from the Negev and transferring them to government-zoned 
areas to pave the way to expand and build settlements for Jewish 
communities.</p>
