In a scene reminiscent of the Wild West, but in this case, it’s the lawless south, recent videos on Israeli social media show hundreds of Bedouins holding a camel race at the IDF firing zone at the Tzeilim base in Israel’s south.
Bedouins are seen riding camels, motorcycles, and jeeps to the sounds of live gunfire as some participants fire automatic weapons in the air.
The event, which draws thousands of spectators, was held without police coordination. The race is held every year, drawing a similar outcry from the public each time.
It is a significant event in the Bedouin sector, with the winner of the race receiving great honor and accolades.

An existential threat to the state of Israel….unauthorized camel races…GEVALT!!!!
burning man bedouin style……it would be nice if we could all compete in this form of fun…..gosh, didn’t know it was an event….
looks like a great pastime for Beduin…
So every year, Bedouins have an event, and Israelis kvetch about it. Sounds like a holiday. Is there gift-giving?
where do they have money to afford such vehicles?
Sounds like these geezers know how to enjoy their time, let’em be
The problem starts (or ends) when the fire part goes live…
