On Sunday, 12/0/2014, the Israeli occupation leveled 10 residential and agricultural structures in Khirbet Karzaliya, east of Aqraba. At 6 a.m., a large force of the Israeli army riding seven military jeeps and a bulldozer broke into Karzaliya, a Bedouin community, where the heavy machine embarked on leveling the structures due to a lack of building permits.

The families that were displaced after they lost their tents and sheds had received a demolition notice in July 2013 on the grounds that the structures had been built without building permits in an area classified "C" according to Oslo Accords.
Karzaliya is 4km east of Aqraba and is inhabited by 1300 people who originally hail from Aqraba. The residents of Karzaliya have the deeds for the lands they own but the Israeli occupation does not acknowledge the Khirbet and try its best to kick people out and seize their agricultural lands.
