Israel is preparing a major push to fortify its 186-mile eastern border with Jordan, combining a smart security barrier with new communities, security farms, and civilian defense hubs, according to a report.
Israel is preparing a major initiative to secure its eastern border with Jordan — the country's quietest frontier — against the threat of Iran and its proxies turning it into an active front, according to a report Thursday. The plan combines a smart security barrier with new communities, security farms, and civilian defense hubs.
The project comes amid a wider strategic assessment in Israel of multi-front threats. As The Zioneer has reported, Israeli officials have warned of Iran attempting to link fronts against Israel, and the country has prepared for an independent multi-front campaign. The eastern border, while calm since the 1994 peace treaty with Jordan, has been a growing concern as Iranian drones and missiles have used Jordanian airspace in attacks on Israel. The report did not specify a timeline or budget for the plan. The initiative reflects a shift toward securing Israel's land borders with active defense belts rather than relying solely on diplomatic arrangements.
