The Gaza militant group launched its biggest sustained assault in years, prompting Israel's military to call up reservists and order retaliatory strikes.
The security barrier between Israel and the Gaza Strip took more than three years to build. Israel unveiled the 40-mile barrier in 2021 as a technologically advanced mix of 20-foot fence, radar systems and underground sensors.
Then-Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said the mix of steel and concrete barrier placed an “iron wall” around Gaza and would protect Israelis in the south from Hamas. “This barrier will provide Israeli citizens a sense of security and will enable this beautiful region to continue developing and flourishing,” he said on a visit to the border in 2021.
