Israeli bulldozers yesterday demolished the village of Al-Araqeeb in the Negev for the 95th time.

Local sources reported that Israel destroyed the village last month and returned to flatten it once again and uproot the villagers’ crops leaving them without shelter.

Rising tensions in the Occupied Territories have led to dozens of deaths and hundreds of clashes.
Are we witnessing the Third Intifada?
The Israeli government does not recognise about 51 Arab villages in the Negev and targets them constantly by demolition and the displacement of their people. It goes on to build settlements for Jews in the area instead.
In recent times, the villages of Negev have been subjected to wide demolition campaigns, which affected hundreds of homes. Israel claims the buildings were constructed without the necessary permits.
