Qassam Brigades warns about Israeli Gaza wall plan

Hamas military wing, Ezzedin Qassam Brigades says it would not allow Israel to build a concrete wall around Gaza, Naba Press reported.

Israel is reportedly planning to build a massive concrete wall which will extend both bellow and above the ground along the besieged Gaza Strip, an Israeli media report says.

According to a report by the Hebrew daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the barrier will extend several dozen meters below the ground and will also be present above the ground.

In a statement that was published in social media, the Brigades said they would prevent Israel by any means at hand.

The wall, which will stretch along the 96-kilometer (60 mile) border around the Palestinian enclave, is estimated to cost USD 568 million.

The report noted that the plan has already been cleared for publication by Israel’s military censor but Israel’s ministry for military affairs refused to comment on it.
