A TRIPLE FENCE FOR GAZA

THIS SHOULD MAKE THE TERRORIST SYMPATHIZING EUROPEANS THREE TIMES ANGRIER.

Israel plans triple-fencing of Gaza after pullout
URIM, Israel, July 28 (Reuters) - Israel is rushing to complete a three-layer-deep barrier of fences and walls on its border with Gaza to keep out Palestinian infiltrators after it pulls out of the territory, military officials said on Thursday. .... The plan calls for adding two new fences parallel to the border fence that already surrounds the Gaza Strip and putting up seven-metre (23-foot)-high concrete walls in a few places, a senior military official said. He put the cost at $220 million.

Israel is beefing up its border defences, including construction of new army bases, to compensate for losing its military presence in Gaza after it removes all 21 Jewish settlements from the occupied territory starting in mid-August. Security officials worry that even after the withdrawal, Gaza militants will try to infiltrate gunmen and suicide bombers into the Jewish state and fire rockets across the border.
