Negev - Saba:
Israeli occupation authorities demolished 16 homes in the unrecognized village of al-Sarra today, Monday, in the Negev, in the 1948 territories.
Hundreds of police officers were deployed at the scene, surrounding the homes and preventing residents from approaching the site of the demolition.
Suleiman al-Hawashla, Director General of the Regional Council for Unrecognized Villages, said, "The demolitions come after the Beersheba Court's decision last Thursday to demolish the village's homes and empty it of its residents."
Al-Hawashla added to Arab48 that "the demolitions today target at least 16 homes, while some residents had previously demolished their homes themselves."
