Israel Completes Smart Border Barrier Around Gaza

After 3.5 Years of Construction, Israel Completes Smart Border Barrier Around Gaza Strip

Israel officially completed the construction of the “smart” barrier fence around the Gaza Strip, its defense line from attacks by terror groups above ground and terror tunnels running into the country below ground.

The 65 km long barrier includes an underground concrete component with sensors, an above-ground fence, a naval barrier to prevent incursions from the sea, radar systems, and command and control rooms to prevent infiltrations from the Gaza strip into Israeli territory.

Defense Minister Benny Gantz stated during a special inauguration ceremony on Tuesday that “the barrier, which is an innovative and technologically advanced project, deprives Hamas of one of the capabilities it tried to develop and places an ‘iron wall’, sensors and concrete between the terror organization and the residents of Israel’s south.”
