IDF Outlines New Strategy to Protect Gaza Border
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF Southern Command outlined its strategy to secure the Gaza border in a briefing on Thursday. The IDF estimates that a surprise Hamas attack could begin with a land incursion of special guerilla forces through attack tunnels, some of which have been dug to within dozens of feet from the new barrier wall. Hamas itself has deployed its fighters along the barrier to prevent Gazans from leaving. Most of the Palestinians who have been apprehended by the IDF as they attempted to cross the border were transferred to Hamas in a quiet agreement on the ground. The IDF has learned from past incidents and has implemented technology that would alert forces when an Israeli vehicle is exposed to cross-border fire.
