- Israel is rebuilding the "Hourglass" Gaza border fence after its October 7th breach.
- The reconstruction project involves billions of shekels for southern, northern, and eastern borders.
- Critics argue the fence is being rebuilt without implementing lessons from recent conflicts.
- The security doctrine these new obstacles will serve remains unclear.
- A government source questioned the fence's value, citing its October 7th failure.
Israel's security establishment has begun the quiet reconstruction of the "Hourglass" fence along the Gaza border, three years after it was breached during the October 7th massacre. The project involves a multi-billion shekel investment, not only for the southern border but also for reinforcing engineering obstacles on the northern and eastern frontiers. However, this substantial funding for the barrier renewal is drawing sharp criticism. According to a report in "TheMarker," the fence's rehabilitation is proceeding without operational lessons learned from the past three years of conflict being implemented. Furthermore, it remains unclear what updated security doctrine these obstacles are intended to serve, especially after the static defense concept failed completely at the war's outset. The lack of transparency surrounding the project and the return to familiar solutions are also causing ripples within the political echelon. A government source sharply criticized the move, questioning its logic by stating, "Someone decided to strengthen the security components. We saw what the fence was worth on October 7th."
