There have been four attacks in Israel in the last three weeks, in which 14 Israelis have lost their lives. In a written statement from the Israeli government, it was stated that Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and cabinet members discussed the recent armed attacks in Israel and the work of the security forces.
IT WILL BE BUILT IN 40 KM AREA
In the statement, it was reported that the proposal presented by Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz was accepted, and the cabinet unanimously approved the $110 million budget for the construction of a firewall in a 40-kilometer area, including the section separated by a wire fence in the security (separation) wall along the West Bank. .
In the last armed attack in the capital Tel Aviv on April 7, 3 people were killed and 10 people were injured. The Israeli police announced that the Palestinian teenager, who was alleged to be the perpetrator of the incident, was neutralized.
It was reported that the Palestinians who carried out the two attacks in Tel Aviv came from the city of Jenin in the north of the West Bank and passed through the section of the separation wall, called the “contact point”, where the wire fences are located.
REINFORCEMENTS SENT TO THE CONTACT POINT
The Israeli army announced that it was sending reinforcements to these points, called “contact points”.
There are numerous Israeli military checkpoints along the approximately 700-kilometer-long concrete wall between the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, whose construction began in 2003, and in some places up to 5 meters high.
However, some weak fenced sections of this firewall are used by Palestinians who want to work as illegal workers in Israel. (AA)
