It should be marked that forces from the Israeli occupation army accompanied by a staff from the Civil Administration raided on April 04, 2016 the Bedouin community of Arab Al-A'ra'reh in the area of Al-Kassarat and confiscated some metal slaps used to construct new houses.
It is reported that some residents were busy building new houses in the area when the Israeli Occupation Forces broke into the community and confiscated the items. Israel Civil Administration served a minute of confiscation for the affected.
An eyewitness asserted that the officer of the Civil Administration did not believe that metal slaps have been stored in the community for years and that they were moved from a place to another to be later used in construction.
Another witness said that the force ordered workers of stop-work on the claim of lacking building permit. A Mitsubishi four wheel drive was used to move the metal slaps, said witness.
Israel Civil Administration impose almost impossible requirements on citizens who wish to restore confiscated items such like metal slaps, barracks, water pipes and generators. One requirement obliges citizen to sign papers vowing not to use the confiscated items in future operations. This what most people refuse to do.
It should be marked that the residents of Al-A'ra'reh come originally from the occupied city of Beer Al-Saba' and were displaced in the year of 1948 to different areas of the West Bank.
