Efforts to Repair and Strengthen the Gaza Security Fence

In recent days, combat engineering soldiers in the Gaza Division have been completing efforts to repair and reinforce breaches made in the security fence. Hamas terrorists severely damaged the fence when they infiltrated into Israel Saturday morning and terrorized Israeli civilians in southern Israel. The IDF soldiers also worked to remove and neutralize explosives hidden along the Gaza security fence. Additional work on the security fence is expected in the coming days.

The engineering effort involved about four combat soldier companies equipped with 30 heavy engineering vehicles and additional heavy equipment, who worked along the security fence alongside tank personnel.

At the same time, Israeli Air Force aircraft, including combat helicopters and UAVs, provided an extra layer of cover for the soldiers and scanned the area to ensure the safety of the soldiers and the residents of the area surrounding the Gaza Strip.

Soldiers from the Gaza Division's Combat Engineering Corps continue to operate as needed in order to ensure the maximum level of protection for the residents of the southern region.
