Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that Israel has a plan to counter the threat of drones crossing its border with Jordan. During a visit to the site of a new security barrier, accompanied by Defense Minister Israel Katz, Netanyahu stated that Israel is significantly enhancing its protective measures. "We are surrounding Israel with a huge barrier, but that is not all," Netanyahu said. "Forces are deployed on the ground, a work program is underway, and we have plans to deal with drones. I will not go into details."
The Prime Minister emphasized the extensive resources being mobilized to secure the border, mentioning significant engineering and logistical efforts, as well as the deployment of IDF soldiers and reservists. The objective, he stated, is to ensure maximum protection for the Israeli population and prevent any infiltration attempts. "This entire deployment sends a message to Israel's enemies: do not test us," he warned.
The visit included General Eran Ofir, head of the Border and Security Barriers Directorate, and Brigadier General Oren Simha, commander of the 96th Division. The officials inspected the progress of the new barrier construction along the Jordanian border.
Defense Minister Israel Katz stressed that strengthening defenses must be coupled with an offensive military strategy. He explained that the barrier construction and troop deployment complement a policy aimed at neutralizing threats. "Above all, we must attack, destroy the enemy, eliminate threats, and at the same time ensure strong defense for Israeli citizens," Katz stated.
