(Worthy News) – Egyptian armed forces are building a new 1.2-mile-long wall on the border with the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Al Monitor.
The construction of the border, which began on Jan. 27 but reportedly wasn’t announced by armed forces, forms part of a plan to boost border security and prevent extremists from entering the Sinai Peninsula from the Gaza Strip. It is also aimed at shutting down any remaining Palestinian cross-border tunnels.
Upon completion, the new border, made of reinforced concrete, will stretch from the Kerem Shalom crossing to the Rafah border crossing. It will be around 20 feet high and extend 16.4 feet underground. [ Source: Epoch Times (Read More…) ]
