Israel sues 34 Bedouin for costs of repeated demolitions of their
homes.

Unprecedented law suit seeks NIS 1.8 million in damages from Negev
Bedouin; Israel Lands Administration says defendants built homes on
land belonging to the state.

The state filed an unprecedented suit against 34 Negev Bedouin in
Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, seeking NIS 1.8 million in
damages for the expense repeatedly incurred in evicting the defendants
from state land and demolishing their homes.

The state, through the Israel Lands Administration, told the court
that the defendants had built homes in the Al-Arakib area, northeast
of Be'er Sheva, on what had been state land since the time of Ottoman
rule.
