Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israel's eastern border to inspect a new, large-scale engineering barrier being constructed along the entire frontier, from the Yarmouk River to Eilat. He stated that the barrier is part of a broader regional defense system that includes military forces, special defense plans, and additional security measures.
During his visit, Netanyahu was accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Head of the Administration for Border Affairs and the Line of Contact Major General Eran Ofir, Commander of the 96th Division Brigadier General Oren Simcha, and other IDF commanders. They were briefed on the new defensive complex, ongoing efforts to enhance security along this sector, and the integration of technical means and military units.
Speaking in the Jordan Valley near Kibbutz Masada, Netanyahu described the barrier as an additional security measure complementing existing defenses in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. He emphasized that the barrier is not a standalone structure but part of a comprehensive strategy involving military units and plans to counter drones.
"We are surrounding the State of Israel with a huge barrier, but it does not act on its own. There are forces here, there is a work plan, there are plans to counter drones, I will not go into detail. This is about maximum protection so that we can protect the citizens of Israel and not allow anyone to even think about invading the State of Israel," Netanyahu stated.
He also highlighted the extensive engineering, logistical, and military efforts, including the mobilization of regular IDF forces and reservists, involved in building the new defense system. Netanyahu concluded with a message to Israel's enemies: "Do not test us."
