The Israeli army announced the completion of the construction of a sea barrier between Israel and Gaza after seven months of work.
According to military sources, the border fence is 6 meters high and 200 meters long. It contains sophisticated technological systems and is designed to prevent infiltration by sea to Israeli towns located near areas along the northern Gaza Strip. The fence will also allow uncovering tunnels.
The sources added that the sea barrier was built on a wall of huge rocks that had been planted in the seabed on the northern border of the Gaza Strip. The fence contains precise sensors.
The decision to build an upgraded naval barrier was decided following Palestinian attempts to infiltrate into the surrounding towns, Israel says.
