Israel demolishes Bedouin Palestinian homes leaving 250 homeless

Israeli forces demolished between 50 and 80 homes and a mosque belonging to the Bedouin Palestinian Abu Wadi clan near the southern city of Rahat on Monday, leaving approximately 250 people homeless. The demolitions were carried out after an Israeli court rejected a request to postpone the orders, according to the Middle East Eye.

The Abu Wadi clan, who had lived in the area for decades, were forced to dismantle their own homes and were not provided with alternative housing, with one resident describing the experience as catastrophic.
