Israel to build wall to protect road targeted with anti-tank missile near Gaza
After admitting that the threat of anti-tank missiles to roads near the Gaza Strip was underestimated, leading to the attack yesterday that killed 68-year-old Moshe Feder, security authorities have decided to build a wall to protect the road that was targeted, Channel 13 reports.
The wall is planned to be two meters (6.56 feet) high and 600 meters long, blocking off the currently exposed area.
Plans for the wall’s construction have already begun, the report says.
פירסמנו הערב: בעקבות ירי הנט אתמול לעבר רכבו של משה פדר ז״ל במערכת הביטחון יקימו קיר הגנתי (כמו זה שבתמונה) בגובה של כשני מטרים ובאורך של כ-600 מטרים שיחסמו את האזור החשוף ויימנעו ירי ישיר. עבודות התכנון בשטח כבר החלו. pic.twitter.com/3iBEtJsZwP
