Al-Araqeeb (; ) is an unrecognized village of the Al-Turi Arab Bedouin tribe, five miles (8 km) north of Beersheba, demolished and rebuilt over 200 times.
==History== After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, Israel began to displace the Bedouin of the Negev. By 1953, 90% of the roughly 100,000 Bedouin in the northern Negev were expelled. According to Eyal Weizman, the refugees moved to Gaza and the West Bank. The Bedouin from Al-Araqib ("Gentle Hills"), such as the al-Tūris and al-‘Uqbis, have fought to return to their ancestral lands.
