<p style="font-size:10pt;">NEGEV, (PIC)&#8211; The Israeli police  displaced Sunday morning 300 Palestinians, mostly children and women,  and left them in the cold after their bulldozers demolished, for the  ninth consecutive time, all the homes of Araqeeb village located between  the towns of Rahat and Beersheba in Negev region.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Local sources said that armed policemen  and troops came along with bulldozers this morning to the village and  knocked down all tents and homes without mercy after using force to  evacuate the families from their places.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">According to the regional council for the  Arab villages unrecognized by Israel, the policemen and soldiers  physically attacked the residents who had to defend themselves and  homes.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The Israeli occupation authority (IOA)  blatantly refuses to recognize this Palestinian village which had come  into existence before the Jews occupied Palestine.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">The IOA claims the village was established  on government lands, while Araqeeb natives inherited them from their  parents and grandparents, and have documents proving their ownership of  these lands.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Araqeeb village was completely removed  many times during the past year, but the residents rebuilt it again  after every demolition.</p>
<p style="font-size:10pt;">Arab Knesset member Taleb Al-Sanea  strongly denounced the Israeli government for pursuing the policy of  terror  against the Palestinian Arabs in the south and displacing them  and their children from their homes, stressing that the injustice will  never last and will come to an end sooner or later.</p>
