Israeli army resumes construction of apartheid fence along Gaza border

Monday 21-November-2016

The Israeli occupation army is about to resume the construction of an apartheid fence along the borders between Gaza and the Green Line Hebrew-speaking Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported Monday.

According to the newspaper two Israeli companies will complete the construction of the border fence at an estimated budget of up to $55 million per every company.

The decision was opted for following a visit paid by senior officers at the Israeli war ministry to the area to inspect the first section of the wall built in the initial test phase.

The Israeli occupation army decided to construct a new offensive line along the borders with blockaded Gaza allegedly to rein in underground tunnels dug up by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

The plan includes the construction of an under-and-above-ground concrete wall at dozens of meters over and under the ground and 60 kilometers length.

According to data by the Israeli Ministry of Public Security the apartheid wall will cost $550 million. Other parties estimated that the project will cost up to one billion and a quarter dollars.
