Anger among Israeli Bedouins after girl wounded in Iranian attack

Many Bedouin communities have lived on the margins, and are often accused by authorities of settling on desert lands without official authorisation. While most Israelis have access to bomb shelters, many Bedouin communities are not allowed to build them. Their villages, on paper, do not exist, and no road signs lead to them.

Mohamed Hassouna, aged 49 and a father of 14 children, showed AFP the impact of the missile part that perforated the tin roof of his home in Al Fura, a Bedouin village not recognised by the Israeli authorities. Before Israel's creation in 1948, the Negev desert was home to approximately 92,000 Bedouins. But only 11,000 remained within Israel's borders after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, according to Adalah, an advocacy group for Arab minorities in Israel. Many of them refused to be resettled in the cities, and Bedouins have continued to face difficulties in Israeli society ever since. Today there are around 300,000, half of whom live in cities and half in villages not recognised by Israel, according to Adalah. These villages lack most basic services, such as garbage collection. Hassouna, who said he works in a solar panel factory, does not have electricity at his home. He was reluctant to speak to the media who he said "come to film us but do not help us build shelters". Sitting on a plastic chair outside his makeshift home, he held up a demolition order he had received two weeks previously. "The state does nothing for us," said another man, who asked not to be named.
