Today, Wednesday, the Israeli authorities demolished the tents of the residents of the village of Al-Araqib, deprived of recognition and threatened with uprooting and displacement in the Negev in the 48 lands, for the 222nd time in a row, since their first demolition on July 27, 2010.

This is the 11th 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 15 times in 2022, and 14 times in the year before last.

The people of Al-Araqib insist on staying and clinging to their land, and they re-erect their tents every time, made of wood and a nylon cover, to protect them from the extreme heat in the summer and the extreme cold in the winter, and to confront plans to uproot and displace them from their land.

The Israeli authorities have continued to demolish Al-Araqib since 2010 in their repeated attempts to push the villagers into frustration, despair, and migration from their lands.
