‘Israel’ demolishes Araqeeb village for the 175th time

Occupied Negev (QNN)- The Israeli police on Wednesday demolished the Bedouin village of Araqeeb in the occupied Negev for the 175th time.

Local sources said the Israeli police raided the village before destroying its tents for the 175th time. The latest demolition was on February 6.

Located in the Negev (Naqab) desert, the village is one of 51 “unrecognised” Arab villages in the area and is continuously targeted for demolition ahead of plans to Judaise the Naqab by building homes for new Jewish communities.

Native Palestinians of the village continued to rebuild their community and set up their tents again, refusing to leave their land.
