Israel at war. The engineering forces under the Central Command continue their defense activities throughout Judea and Samaria, over 200 protected positions have been placed, and about 10,000 meters of security fences have been deployed around and within the settlements.

The engineering commander in command, Col.

This is by building obstacles, shielding our forces and thickening the array of positions and outposts in settlements and roads."
