Israel on Tuesday announced the completion of a barrier along the Gaza border, described as an “iron wall” equipped with underground sensors, radars, and cameras to curb threats.
Israel has maintained a blockade on Gaza since 2007, the year Hamas Islamists took power in the Palestinian enclave, tightly restricting the flow of goods and people in and out of the territory home to some two million people.
An Israeli defense ministry statement said the 65-kilometer (40-mile) “barrier”, completed after three and half years of construction, includes an “underground barrier with sensors”, a six metre-high smart fence, radars, cameras, and a maritime monitoring system.
