Israel's Anti-Tunnel Barrier Pays Off
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Israel began building its anti-tunnel barrier on the Gaza border in 2017. Most of the barrier, both above and below ground, is finished, and it's slated to be completed by March 2021 at a cost of $890 million. To date, around 20 tunnels have been discovered, some of them thanks to technologies deployed while building the barrier. That's what happened with the latest tunnel discovered along the Gaza border. It was deep underground, penetrated into Israel, but it didn't get past the barrier. This is a relatively new tunnel that has been built over the past few years and was discovered before it was finished.
