IDF begins upgrading Gaza border barrier with new technology, infrastructure
[Jpost] Following the October 7 attack, the "Hourglass" fence faced criticism after it was breached at dozens of locations along the 64-kilometer Gaza border.

The Defense Ministry's Borders and Seam Directorate, under the command of Maj.-Gen. Eran Ofir, began upgrading and improving the "Hourglass" security fence along the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip this month, based on lessons learned from the October 7 attack and the war against Hezbollah.

The first upgrade includes reinforcing gates along the international border separating Israeli territory from Paleostinian territory, making them more difficult to breach while allowing military forces to pass through in the southern and northern brigade sectors of the Gaza Division.

The second upgrade involves analyzing the terrain and geographical conditions along the border, with engineering work being carried out accordingly ahead of the winter months.

The area is prone to soil erosion and flooding from seasonal streams, which could damage the fence.

SECURED PASSAGES FOR MILITARY FORCES
The third upgrade includes installing secured openings that will allow military forces to move quickly from one side of the fence to the other.

The fourth upgrade includes integrating technologies and operational methods to counter threats operating at very low altitudes, particularly fiber-optic drones.

Hezbollah used such drones against IDF soldiers in southern Leb
...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects....
, and at the height of the war, they became a significant defensive challenge.

Similar technology is expected to be implemented along Israel's other borders, particularly the border with Lebanon.

The fifth upgrade includes preparations for integrating advanced intelligence-gathering systems to improve early warning capabilities against various threats and strengthen security in the border area.

THE GAZA BORDER FENCE AND LESSONS FROM OCTOBER 7
Following the October 7 attack, the "Hourglass" fence faced criticism after it was breached at dozens of locations along the 64-kilometer Gaza border, allowing thousands of snuffies to infiltrate Israeli territory.

However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
it is important to emphasize that the Hourglass fence, which was based on the barrier along Israel's border with Egypt, was designed primarily to mark the border, delay attempts to infiltrate Israeli territory, and provide warnings of incursions through technological systems.

The IDF, however, had become entrenched in the assumption that the fence was impassable or that Israeli forces would be able to strike any terrorist cell approaching the border and attempting to breach it.

In practice, on October 7, a small number of IDF soldiers faced thousands of snuffies without adequate weapons or sufficient artillery and air support.

According to General Staff investigations, the fence fulfilled its intended purpose. Nevertheless, given the changing conditions along Israel's borders, the decision was made to upgrade it.

It should also be noted that investigations conducted after October 7 revealed that Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
had carried out a series of tests using various bombs along the Hourglass fence before the attack to determine how it could be breached.

However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
Southern Command not only failed to recognize that these activities were preparations for a future massacre, but also chose not to inform the Borders and Seam Directorate of the details. # id) ?>
