The Awake North movement, a group of northern residents and former soldiers, criticized the IDF's construction of a concrete wall near Avivim, calling it a costly project that undermines battlefield initiative and control, according to a report by Israel Hayom. The movement claimed that soldiers in the field say the wall obstructs their operational effectiveness.
The Awake North movement, which represents residents and reserve soldiers along the northern border, on Thursday criticized the IDF's construction of a concrete wall near Avivim, calling it a multi-million shekel project that undermines military effectiveness. The movement claimed that soldiers have testified that the wall hinders their ability to maneuver and control the terrain, replacing direct presence with a static barrier. The report, attributed to Ariel Kahana of Israel Hayom, did not include an IDF response. The criticism adds to a pattern of soldier grievances over operational restrictions that The Zioneer has previously covered (June 22, July 5). The wall is part of ongoing fortification efforts on the northern border, which has been a focal point of security concerns.
