Security Fence

Although most photos, like the one at left, focus on those portions of the fence that are made of concrete, the most of the barrier is fence. Read comments from AIPAC:
--The anti-terrorism barrier is a fence, not a wall.
--Approximately 96 percent of the more than 400 planned miles of the barrier is a chain-link fence outfitted with sophisticated electronic sensors.
--The walled sections of the fence often shown on television comprise less than 4 percent of the fence.
--The less than 4 percent composed of concrete slabs was built in areas where Palestinian sniper fire from nearby villages was aimed at Israeli homes and motorists on the Trans-Israel Highway, one of the countrys key arteries. Furthermore, much of the concrete part of the barrier was built more than five years ago as protection against Palestinian snipers with little or no international objection.
--Six of the eight concrete segments of the fence are built on the Israeli side of the former Green Line. The two sections that are built beyond the 1949 armistice line cross into the West Bank by less than 100 yards. The fence is a temporary measure that can easily be moved.
