The Israeli Army is building a buffer zone on Palestinian land the length of the Gaza Strip. âStarting last week, the Israeli Army has been making a buffer zone parallel to the Green Line all the way along the Gaza Strip, to a different depth according to the situation on the ground, but mostly one kilometer deep,â Col. Khalid Abu Al-Ula of the Israeli-Palestinian military liaison committee said. He said Israeli forces had occupied or destroyed all the Palestinian security posts in the buffer zone, which he said stretched from Rafah on the southern border with Egypt to Beit Hanoun in the north. Israeli security officials last week mulled the idea of setting up buffer zones to protect Israeli territory from rocket attacks by Hamas activists.
Not a 100% solution, but a 50% solution will still give more relief than doing nothing. |
