"Israel" to Build Fence between Golan Heights, Syria
Local Editor
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged Sunday to build a fortified fence along the frontier with Syria under the pretext that extremist groups have taken over the area.
Speaking at a weekly Cabinet meeting, Netanyahu claimed that the Syrian regime was "unstable," and that the Zionist entity was concerned about the Damascus' chemical weapons capabilities.
"We intend to erect an identical fence, with a few changes based on the actual territory, along the Golan Heights. We know that on other side of our border with Syria today, the Syrian army has moved away, and in its place, global "jihad" forces have moved in," he said.
In parallel, Netanyahu noted that his government is coordinating intelligence and readiness with the United States and others so that it might be prepared for any scenario and possibility that could arise. His office did not say long it would take to complete the project.
"We must therefore protect this border from infiltrations and terror, as we have successfully been doing along the Sinai border."
Meanwhile, an "Israeli" security official told AFP that the new fence in the Golan Heights would be along the outline of the old one.
The official noted that "Israel" had already completed some 10 kilometers (6 miles) of the new Golan fence, and had "about 60 kilometers (37 miles) to go." The official said he believed the work would be completed during 2013.
