Four months ago, Suleiman Aziz Abu Arar was murdered in Arara in the Bedouin community in the Negev. The suspects in the murder are the nephews of the principal of the Ibn Khaldun school, who was forced to leave the community or alternatively shut himself up in his home for four months for fear that he would be murdered as part of the family's blood revenge.

At the beginning of the week, the principal returned to work, but received threats to his life. The police escorted him back and forth from school, but hundreds of students refuse to come to school for fear that the murderers will come to the school to murder the threatened principal and they will also be harmed.

The students have been at home for four days now. This story emphasizes the disturbing fact that in the Negev there are quite a few areas where you can see the Bedouin sector living in a state of its own. Blood revenge is one of the reasons for this. Hundreds of students will be absent from school and will pay a heavy educational price as a result.
