IDF Strengthening Defenses on Syrian Border
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The IDF is accelerating the addition of new combat engineering elements along the Syrian border in the Golan Heights to prevent armed terrorists infiltrating Israel. Lessons learned from Hamas's breach of defenses surrounding Gaza are being applied. Tactical combat engineering work includes new minefields, deploying explosive charges, and digging deep trenches. The IDF is prioritizing fortifications in areas close to Israeli communities and sectors with limited visibility. An IDF officer said Tuesday that civilian equipment had been leased and "dozens of bulldozers and excavators are working swiftly and efficiently."
