Earlier, I reported on the Bedouin village El-Araqib in the Negev desert that was destroyed by the Israeli government. I wrote how the villagers were about to start rebuilding as soon as the government forces left. And that is exactly what they did.

This time, I wasn’t on location. Here is a snip from Ynet:
Israel Land Administration workers on Wednesday razed the Bedouin village of al-Arakib near Rahat. The village, which is not recognized by the state, was demolished last week, but since then 10 new structures were erected there.
