Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the new barrier being constructed along Israel's eastern border on Thursday. He was accompanied by Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, Head of the Borders and Seams Administration Eran Ofir, Commander of Division 96 Oren Simcha, and other commanders.
During the visit, Netanyahu received an update on efforts to strengthen defenses and security along the eastern frontier. He stated that the massive barrier, stretching from Yarmouk to Eilat, is an addition to existing security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza. "We are surrounding the State of Israel with a huge obstacle, but it is not alone," Netanyahu said, emphasizing the deployment of forces and advanced plans, including anti-drone measures, to provide maximum protection for Israeli citizens and deter any invasion attempts.
Netanyahu highlighted the extensive engineering, logistical, and military mobilization, including reserve forces, involved in the project. "All this force is coming to tell the enemies of Israel: Do not test us," he declared.
Defense Minister Yisrael Katz described the barrier as an important component of Israel's security and defense plan. However, he stressed that it complements the primary strategy of proactive offensive policy led by the Prime Minister, which focuses on attacking and eliminating threats, particularly from Iran, while simultaneously ensuring strong defense for Israeli citizens.
