An-Najah News - According to local sources all shelters in the Palestinian Bedouin village of al-Araqib in the Naqab desert were demolished by Israeli police for the 177th time since 2000 and for the sixth time in 2020.

The shelters which are inhabited by Palestinian families,were built out of wood, plastic and corrugated iron.

Israeli authorities tore down the tents and tin structures, leaving the villagers, including children, homeless.
