Israeli forces demolished homes and agricultural facilities belonging to the Abu Qareen family in Rahat on Tuesday. Local sources reported that bulldozers, accompanied by police forces, leveled the buildings. The demolitions occurred just one day after the destruction of all homes in the village of Al-Dahiriya, north of Rahat, displacing approximately 300 members of the Abu Wadi family. This incident has sparked widespread anger and condemnation in the Negev region.
These demolitions are part of ongoing actions in Arab towns in the Negev, exacerbating a severe housing crisis. Residents cite restrictive planning policies and building limitations as the root cause, threatening their homes, stability, and livelihoods. As demolition orders continue to be issued and executed, fears of losing homes and facilities are mounting. Calls are being renewed for fundamental solutions to the housing and planning crisis, and for the recognition of residents' right to build and reside in their villages and towns.
