Israeli Bedouins fighting eviction in desert region


Ras Jrabah (Israel) (AFP) – Plans to expand Israel’s desert city of Dimona are stoking fears among nearby Bedouin villagers in Ras Jrabah, an informal settlement of tin-roofed houses and a few concrete buildings, over their traditional way of life. “Every day when I look at this city, it’s getting closer and closer to us,” says Hassan Hawashla.
