Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) at dawn on Thursday arrested seven Palestinian citizens after storming their houses in Ramallah in the West Bank. The Israeli Authorities demolished also one Bedouin house located in in the Negev desert, occupied in 1948. Before 1948, it is estimated that 65,000 to 90,000 Bedouins lived in the Negev area (Falah 1989). The processes of dislocation, subsequent sedentarization and partial modernization worked to destroy the indigenous Bedouins culture and way of life as part of Israel\'s policy.
