Ben Gvir storms the town of Tarabin in the Negev for the third time in a week

For the third time in a week, the far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir stormed the town of Tarabin in the Negev on Wednesday.

The raid was accompanied by the continuation of an operation in the town by hundreds of Israeli police officers, which began days ago and was named "New Order".

Ben Gvir posted a photo of himself on his Telegram account storming the town again under police protection.

He wrote: "Tarabin this morning, with the National Guard and police forces."

He added, threatening the Palestinians in the town: "For the third time this week, and the twenty-eighth time in the Negev over the past two months. We will not retreat - whoever violates the rules, we will finish him off, the police will deal with him, and the National Guard will crush him."

On Sunday, Ben Gvir stormed the town and conducted a provocative tour through its streets, leading to stone-throwing clashes between Palestinians and the police.

Palestinian citizens pelted Ben Gvir with stones, and he appeared running, while police forces responded by firing tear gas.

Ben Gvir returned to storm the town on Tuesday after the Israeli police announced on Monday sending hundreds of its officers to besiege the town as part of what they called the "New Order" campaign.

The Israeli police stated in a statement on Tuesday evening: "Based on the directives of the National Security Minister and the Police Commissioner, the National Guard of the Border Guard has taken responsibility for the village of Tarabin."

It continued: "24 suspects have been arrested so far, 87 traffic violations have been recorded, and 23 demolition orders have been issued.

The police claimed on Monday that what they called "riots" occurred during the raid, and added: "This prompted our forces to respond with dispersal means, while conducting searches and imposing a full security cordon on the town to ensure the safety of law-abiding residents."

Meanwhile, residents of the town described the operation as "collective punishment," with one of them noting that "the police used tear gas and stun grenades on children, trying to justify the unjustified use of force," describing it as "provocation."

Tens of thousands of Bedouins live in dozens of unrecognized towns by Israel, depriving their residents of access to water, electricity, infrastructure, schools, and medical clinics.
