Israel restores Syrian border wall

The Israeli army has began the restoration of the wall along the border with Syria extending to130 kilometers, amid fears of the infiltration of the ongoing war escapees. Furthermore, the possibility of different groups executing military operations against the army and Israeli settlement blocs in Golan Heights. The army has launched the restoration process weeks ago on a fence along the border with Syria, reported Israeli newspaper (Haaretz) late Friday, especially in light of identifying approximately 36 locations which can be broken into very easily due to weak security measures. The wall, built after the October 1973 war, became in danger of collapsing in more than one location, and eroded in some sections due the effects of time and the harsh weather at Golan Heights, Haaretz reported. This prompted the Israeli army to impose new security measures along the border, the newspaper added. The army began building a new wall in several locations of the border and developing sophisticated equipment to detect any infiltration attempts.
