As reported in B'Machana, the Israeli Defense Force has planted mines along the border with Syria. The preparations are being made in case residents of Syria use the Palestinian Authority's bid for statehood in September as an opportunity to storm the borders. Mines were laid across the perimeter fence, within the Israeli side of the border. Maj. Ariel Illouz of the engineering corps stated that the mines, combined with IDF troops, would prevent border crossing by masses of people.

Wish we’d plant some along the US/Mexico Border.

I love the sound of landmines exploding in the morning.

Wire is useless unless you mine and boobytrap it. Even then it is mostly an exercise in futility unless you man it. Crew served weapons with arty and air support preferred......
...and yes, we need to do it on our southern border.

It seems to me that this is nothing new. There are signs when driving up there close to the border warning that there are mines if one strays from the road.

We were told when there not to wander around the fields. The week before some farm got blown up. These are left over from 73.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
The preparations are being made in case residents of Syria use the Palestinian Authority's bid for statehood in September as an opportunity to storm the borders.
I'd also recommend that the IDF covertly plant thousands of mines well over into Syrian territory, so the would-be Arab invaders never reach the Israeli border and mine field.
