The "Green Patrol" unit, in cooperation with the Israel Land Authority, issued official notices on Tuesday to dozens of citizens in the unrecognized Bedouin village of Al-Sarra in the Negev, ordering them to vacate state land within 30 days. The notices, dated November 3, 2026, claim the recipients are illegally occupying state land and have erected structures and fences without proper authorization. Residents are warned that failure to comply will result in legal action, including court proceedings and the imposition of all associated costs, with no further warnings to be issued. This action raises concerns among residents about escalating measures against them and their rights to land and housing, especially following recent demolitions in the Negev that left hundreds homeless. The notices demand the removal of all people, property, and belongings from the land and the restoration of the area to its previous state.
