According to local sources, bulldozers escorted by zionist police forces stormed the village in the morning and razed all the tents and makeshift homes, displacing the local residents, including children and elderlies.
Zionist occupation regime had demolished the village five times before during the current year and the last demolition happened on March 5, 2020. However, the residents will manage to rebuild their village anew and challenge Zionist regime's repeated attempts to uproot them from their native land.
Zionist occupation regime considers al-Araqeeb and dozens of other Negev villages illegal and refuses to recognize them as Palestinian communities, arguing that the local residents cannot prove their ownership of the lands they are living on.
