APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Umm al-Fahm - 14 January 2022. People shout slogans and wave Palestinian national flags during a protest in the mostly Arab city of Umm al-Fahm in northern Israel in solidarity with Bedouin communites in the Negev Desert against an afforestation project by the Jewish National Fund (JNF).
STORYLINE
Palestinian residents of the Naqab desert in the south of Israel demonstrated against government attempts to take over their lands through razing and planting the lands with trees.
A large police force attacked the demonstrators who gathered at the intersection between al-Atrash and Saawa Bedouin communities to protest the takeover using rubber-coated metal bullets, tear gas and skunk water causing several injuries and suffocation cases.
Israel does not recognize dozens of Bedouin communities in the south of the country, which until today lack basic services such as water and electric networks, and attempt to force them out of their lands and homes in order to take them over. It has employed the tree-planting scheme in order to justify pushing the residents out of the area.
Several demonstrators have also been arrested over the past few days.
