Wall to wall to wall .......

"(Reuters) ... An Israeli security fence already runs along the entire border but the military said defenses had to be bolstered with a 5-7 meter-(16-23 feet) high cement wall between the Israeli town of Metulla and the Lebanese village of Kila."(The wall is) intended to prevent firing from the Lebanese side into the Israeli side. In the past year and a half there have been a number of incidents," Colonel Amit Fisher, a senior commander on the border, told Israel Radio....Israel is also building a security fence in its south, along the border with Egypt's Sinai desert, citing concerns over militant activity and smuggling. An Israeli barrier also twists through the occupied West Bank."

I guess the ghetto mentality is well ingrained with the Izzies. But also it seems that they are poor students of military history. The Maginot line did'nt help the French and the Bar-Lev line on the Suez Canal did'nt stop the Egyptian Army from crossing. This wall will not prevent rockets and ......tunnels and at some point in time, the Izzies will be overrun!

Why not build a roof over the country while they're at it!
