Israel Shoring Up Gaza Border Defenses
(Algemeiner) Benjamin Kerstein - The IDF is shoring up defenses along the Gaza border. According to Israeli news site Walla, 40 km. of the underground barrier intended to block attack tunnels has been completed, more than half its planned length. In addition, 12 km. of the new, above-ground fence has been built. Sources in the IDF Southern Command said that construction was proceeding faster than expected. The IDF is also building large dirt mounds along the border to block cross-border attacks with anti-tank missiles, such as one which killed an Israeli motorist near the border earlier this year.
