A Bedouin protester is detained by Israeli police during a demonstration in Beersheba yesterday against a government plan to resettle them. Police said they detained 15 Bedouin as hundreds of the tribesmen and women marched in the southern city. The Higher Arab Monitoring Committee, which represents Arab communities in Israel, had called for a day of “angry strikes” including demonstrations in 15 cities to denounce the plan. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said about 800 people took part in the main demonstration in Beersheba, while Arab Israeli MP Jamal Zahalka said more than 1,000 attended.
