Alwaght- Israeli regime ordered Palestinian owners of homes destroyed by security forces to pay the demolition costs, Palestine-based Safa news agency reported on Sunday.
Zionist magistrates sat in a special session in Be’er Sheva on Sunday to consider the case filed by the Tel Aviv regime's authorities versus the Palestinians living in the village of Al-Araqeeb.
Al-Araqeeb is an old Palestinian village of the Al-Turi Arab Bedouin tribe in the lands occupied by Israel in 1948.
After the 1948 Arab–Israeli Regime War, Tel Aviv regime began to displace Palestinians of the Negev desert, and by 1953 had expelled 90% of the roughly 100,000 people in the northern Negev.
Various methods, from streafing to massacres and tent burning were employed, and the refugees moved to Gaza and the West Bank.
Since then, successive the apartheid regime has refused to recognize the village, which means that it is not connected to local public services.
It has been knocked down by the Zionists 92 times and Palestinians have rebuilt it every time. This time Zionists have announced that the Palestinian residents should pay the costs of the demolitions, an amount $515,000.
However, this is the cost of just one demolition out of 92 demolitions that occurred on 27 August 2010.
In addition to Al-Araqeeb, there are 40 other Palestinian villages facing the same fate.
