(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) RAMALLAH, Aug 3 (KUNA) -- Israeli Ministry of Defense has issued tenders to several companies to build a concrete barrier extending several stories below ground to mitigate the expansion of tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
The barriers will have sensors to detect digging, and will completely encircle Gaza, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported.
The first part of the defensive underground barrier will go along 10 kilometers of the Strip, with plans to extend the barrier around the entirety of the 60 kilometer border with Israel, thereby completely encircling Gaza.
