Arrests made as Israel completes destruction of Bedouin village in Negev: Reports
Israeli authorities have stormed the unrecognized village of Umm al-Hiran in the Negev region, demolishing the last building: a mosque, according to the Wafa news agency.
The Times of Israel newspaper also reported on the development, saying the village was erased to make way for a planned Orthodox Jewish community called Dror.
“Efforts to convince the roughly 300 residents to move to plots prepared for them in the nearby Bedouin town of Hura largely failed,” the newspaper said.
The demolition is “another chapter in the ethnic cleansing and expulsion of Arabs in this country”, the report quoted a spokesman for the Regional Council for the Unrecognized Bedouin Villages in the Negev, a nonprofit that represents the impoverished southern communities, as saying.
Wafa said the Israeli police arrested three people: Salim Abu al-Qian, Atwa Abu al-Qian, and Raed Abu al-Qian.
The Israeli authorities rejected the requests of the residents to be part of the residential complexes that would be built on the ruins, giving them until November 24 to evacuate the erased village, according to Wafa.
