Occupied Negev - Saba:
Zionist enemy bulldozers demolished Al-Araqib village this morning, Monday, for the 236th consecutive time.
The Palestinian Safa Agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the occupation police and special forces stormed the village, accompanied by demolition vehicles, and forced the residents to leave their homes, despite the severe cold in the area, before completely demolishing the homes.
The villagers rebuild their homes made of tin and cloth, after each demolition carried out by the occupation forces.
The occupation forces have been continuously demolishing the village since July 27, 2010, with the aim of displacing and uprooting its residents, in order to confiscate their lands for settlement projects.
Al-Araqib is one of 42 Palestinian villages whose residents Israel wants to displace, as part of an uprooting plan that it has been implementing for years, with the aim of turning them into settlement complexes.
