At the Israel-Gaza Border, the IDF Works to Maintain Quiet
(Jerusalem Post) Udi Shaham - Lt.-Col. Amram Hayun, deputy head of the IDF's Gaza Southern Region Brigade, oversees the daily protection of part of Israel's border. Infantry and tank forces "are constantly on the move" along the border to both monitor and respond swiftly to threats, he says. Another element are the advanced observation and monitoring systems that closely follow any suspicious movements and warn operators if a situation is detected that requires attention. "Events occur on a daily basis," said Hayun. "Whether it's infiltration attempts, IEDs near the border, rockets launching, and others....Our mission here is to make sure that [Israeli civilians] can continue their daily lives."
