Trailers brought to Umm al-Hiran illegal, police say
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice say trailer homes recently brought to the unrecognized Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran are illegal.
Two mobile homes were donated to the village on Saturday.
Police demolished 12 homes in the village on January 18. A police officer and one of the villagers were killed in violent clashes that ensued.
The events at Umm al-Hiran have caused widespread outrage and fear in Israel’s Arab community over the policy of home demolitions.
