Protests in Al-Naqab were renewed on the evening of Wednesday after Israeli bulldozers started destroying infrastructure earlier in the day. Israeli machines bulldozed lands belonging to the Al-Atrash family, near the village of Sa'wah in Al-Naqab.
The destruction took place under the massive protection of Israeli occupation forces. The atmosphere was tense as attacks and prolonged campaigns of arrests swept the region: 46 people were arrested in two days.
Protestors used burning tires to block major intersections on the outskirts of Tel Al-Sabaa Shaqib Al-Salam, and Rahat, demanding the release of the detainees and the cessation of bulldozing operations targeting Al-Naqab area, east Tel Al-Sabaa.
The Israeli occupation's machinery had broken into Saawa village and bulldozed part of its lands in preparation for a takeover after Palestinians confronted them.
Israeli occupation official in charge of the settlement process in Al-Naqab had announced the "cessation of afforestation" in the region.
