Activist Saleem al-Arakib said clashes burst out between Palestinian locals and the Israeli policemen in the unrecognized Arakib village.
The Israeli policemen and border guards have been cordoning off the village and razing Palestinian lands for the fifth day running.
The activist urged Palestinians in 1948 Occupied Palestine and the human rights institutions along with the Arab MKs to intensify presence in the village and stand firm to the Israeli assaults on the village and its Bedouin inhabitants.

Over the past six years, the Israeli authorities knocked down the Arakib village, which is one of 45 Palestinian villages in the Negev unrecognized by Israel, for over 100 times as part of a preplanned scheme of ethnic cleansing.
