Violent riots have broken out in the Negev in recent days, due to KKL-JNF planting in the Bedouin diaspora. Today some of the plantations were uprooted and a complaint was filed with the police by the JNF.

Police have opened an investigation into the incident.



The issue has led to vigilance in the political system and in the coalition in particular, with Knesset members and ministers expressing strong opposition and on the other hand public support for the move.

A compromise agreement was reached yesterday by Minister of Welfare Meir Cohen, according to which the afforestation work was temporarily suspended.

The tractors carrying out the foundation's forestry work will leave the area, planting will be temporarily stopped and the parties will convene for accelerated negotiations for settlement.

A resident of Meitar drove a girl from the settlement on the way from Be'er Sheva - unknown individuals threw stones at them.

"There was a terrible shattering noise, shrapnel flew at us," he said.

"It's a relatively calm area. I didn't think I should be on alert."



The two traveled from Be'er Sheva to Meitar around 10:30 PM, when they returned from training together.

Suddenly, at the Umm Batin junction, near a township police station, an object was thrown at them with force.

"I veered off the lane," the driver said.

"400 meters away there was a police presence, another vehicle was hit."



In the documentation of the incident, the driver and the girl can be heard talking to each other, until a loud collision was heard in the vehicle, and the glass shattered.

The driver hurried off the lane, stopping at the curb, where a mobile station was parked.

"Me and the girl I was scared with did not say there was stone-throwing in this area," the driver, a resident of the south, described.
