Israel destroyed 18 Arab houses in the Negev last week

In a statement, the ministry said that it supervised the destruction of the houses in cooperation with the National Jewish Fund.

The ministry added that the destruction took place in the neighbourhoods of Kseefah, Um-Bteen, Al-Atrash and Sa'wah.

One of the houses in Kseefah, the ministry said, was destroyed by its owner after he received a demolition order from the ministry.

Palestinians and Arabs often destroy their homes themselves when they receive such orders because if they do not, they are forced to foot the bill for the destruction by the government.

The mask has slipped completely off of the apartheid state.
