\r\n\tIsrael has begun the construction of a giant concrete wall that will completely encircle the Gaza Strip, which is already grappling with a devastating siege imposed by the Tel Aviv regime.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tAccording to a Wednesday report on the Ynet news website, the wall "will reach several stories underground, and will also be several stories above ground."
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIt will stretch along the 96-kilometer (60 mile) border around the blockaded Palestinian enclave, and is estimated to cost about two billion Israeli shekels (USD 531 million).
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIsraelis claim that the project is meant to thwart alleged threats posed by the underground tunnels set up by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tHowever, an unnamed high-ranking Hamas official said that the Israelis "will understand that they're digging death traps for themselves.”
\r\n\t
\r\n\tIsraeli Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot said it was the "largest project" ever carried out in the history of the army.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tThe project has already received 600 million Israeli shekels in funding, but risks being defunded, as no money has been allocated to it for the 2017-2018 fiscal year.<\/p>","content_source":null,"content_url":null,"content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2016-09-08 16:00:12","content_date_finish":"2016-09-08 16:00:12","content_date_register":"2016-09-08 16:00:12","content_date_last_edit":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"1","content_show_related_img":"1","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"0","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"1","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","old_id":"127876","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"2426520160","attach_date_register":"2016-09-08 16:00:15","attach_id":"136755","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"650","attach_img_height":"366","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"195","visit_date_last":"2025-05-12 22:22:04","attach_title":"Israel starts building concrete wall around besieged Gaza","node_title":"news","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":122, \"left\":2, \"right\":53}]"}]]
