Israel will build a 500 km barrier on the border with Jordan.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense is preparing a project to strengthen the eastern border: a modern fence with surveillance systems will be erected along 500 kilometers of the border with Jordan. The NIS 5.5 billion ($1.7 billion) project is designed to stop the infiltration of terrorism, as well as the smuggling of weapons and drugs.
At the same time, it is planned to develop the border area: to renew road number 90 and to build about 40 new settlements and civil facilities, Walla reports.
