Israeli police forces, accompanied by bulldozers and demolition vehicles, entered the Arab al-Zayadinah area of the unrecognized village of Umm al-Namla, north of Rahat in the Negev, on Monday morning. The operation occurred amid tension and anticipation among residents. Local sources reported that police escorted the demolition machinery, though details regarding the targeted structures were not immediately available. This demolition operation is part of ongoing demolition activities by Israeli authorities in the Negev, particularly in unrecognized Arab villages. Residents of these villages face demolition orders due to a lack of master plans and legal building solutions. Umm al-Namla, located north of Rahat, has experienced repeated incursions and home demolitions by Israeli authorities in recent years. Residents have protested what they describe as a policy aimed at displacing them from the area.
