(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - The IDF's Gaza Division is fortifying defenses in places like Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, Kissufim, Nahal Oz, and Kerem Shalom. These include new electronic sensor fences linked to IDF control rooms that can scramble forces that are always nearby. Moreover, the IDF has begun deploying components of a new hi-tech underground tunnel detection system. The IDF has begun receiving new radars that track short-range mortar and rocket fire, and provide longer alert times for local residents, for whom every second counts. The same radars should enhance the IDF's ability to fire back at the sources of attack within seconds.
