IDF Bolsters Israel-Syria Border Defenses
(Bamahane-Israel Defense Forces) Reut Farkash - The IDF has placed new anti-personnel mines along the Israel-Syria border in the Golan Heights. Combat engineering forces conducted the mine-laying operation in an overt manner during daylight hours. On Nakba Day in May, demonstrators from Syria crossed existing anti-personnel minefields and infiltrated into Israel. A combat engineering officer said the new mines are meant to strengthen the defenses along the border with Syria and prevent similar incidents from recurring in the future.
