Israeli authorities demolish Al-Araqib for the 227th time

Israeli authorities' bulldozers and machinery demolished the homes of the residents of the unrecognized village of Al-Araqib in the Negev region on Monday for the 227th time. The Israeli authorities demolished the village of Al-Araqib for the first time on July 27, 2010, and the last time was on June 6. This is the fifth time that the Israeli authorities have demolished the tents and homes of the people of Al-Araqib since the beginning of this year, after demolishing them 11 times in 2023, 15 times in 2022, and 14 times in 2021, to push the villagers to frustration and despair and displace them from their lands. The people of Al-Araqib insist on staying and clinging to their land, and they re-erect their tents every time from wood and nylon coverings to protect them from the intense heat in the summer and the bitter cold in the winter, and to confront plans to uproot and displace them from their land Source: Maan News Agency
