(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF is to install 255 day and night vision cameras along Route 443. A 10-mile stretch of highway between Modi'in and Jerusalem has been the scene of dozens of terrorist attacks. Two additional surveillance balloons along the route will supplement the surveillance balloon already in use. The camera feeds will be fed live to a central operations room to enable the IDF to monitor the area. Lt. Col. Chai Rokach of the IDF Homefront Command said there are always combat soldiers patrolling the highway to serve as a buffer between the Palestinian villages next to the highway and the thousands of Israeli cars that drive on it every day.
