Israeli occupation forces (IOF) are carrying out a campaign of destroying crops and tilling land in the occupied Al-Naqab region.
Simultaneously, the IOF raided the Al-Naqab area, south of occupied Palestine, and razed the sit-in tent erected at Saawa village against the Israeli plan to forcibly evict its residents in order to steal their land.
It is worth mentioning that Palestinian villages in the occupied Al-Naqab are illegally slated for demolition, despite being home to tens of thousands of Palestinian residents.
Meanwhile, the residents of the villages of Saawa and Al-Atrash are thwarting the Israeli project.
On Tuesday, dozens of Israeli occupation forces stormed Al-Atrash village, deploying military vehicles, dog and horse units, and bulldozers in the early hours.

Furthermore, the Israeli occupation forces have also assaulted and arrested journalists covering "Israel's" bulldozing and demolition works in the village.
The village witnessed an escalation in confrontations after the IOF razed the sit-in tent erected for more than a year.
Last September, (IOF) demolished the Al-Araqib Palestinian village, in the occupied Al-Naqab region, for the 193rd time in a row.
Earlier today, Israeli settlers stormed the Palestinian village of Awarta, southeast of Nablus, under the heavy guard of the IOF. In the same context, heavily-armed Israeli occupation forces have violently raided the "Abu Al-Shahid" roundabout in the town of Al-Ram, north of occupied Al-Quds, arresting a Palestinian citizen from Silwan.
Under international law, an occupying entity is banned from transferring residents of the occupied population from their existing communities against their will.
