About 500 rioters gathered in the Moleda and Asawa area during the plantings as police raided the area.

The police responded quickly and dispersed the rioters and Alon fled into the villages and police forces are currently pursuing them, with the aim of arresting them.
Following the riots, the police announced that Road 31 from the Shoket junction to Tel Arad was closed to traffic. According to the police, demonstrators at the National Junction opened the violation of order and violated the protest conditions.
The chairman of the joint list, MK Ayman Odeh: “I am in the Negev with whole families who have come to fight for their homes and livelihoods. Cops attack here with rubber bullets, stun grenades and handkerchiefs and a hovering gas sprayer. Violence reminiscent of the tragic events in Umm al-Hiran led by the Netanyahu government. It is difficult to describe the terror of civilians whom the state declares war on. “
MK Sami Abu-Shahah commented on the riots, saying: “Now a crime is being committed against the Arab citizens of the Negev, the legitimate demonstration and the protesters have become targets for the police forces who do not stop firing rubber, shock bombs and gas. .
