Multiple reports say Israel is constructing a long earth barrier inside Gaza, with construction continuing over recent months. The Belfast Telegraph and BreakingNews.ie both describe the barrier as spanning more than 14 miles, with sections running through Palestinian areas that have been demolished by the Israeli military.
According to the reports, the barrier is built as an earthworks structure rather than a fence or wall, and it is positioned in and around communities that have experienced significant displacement. The articles do not provide detailed information about the barrier’s exact route beyond noting that it runs through demolished Palestinian communities.
The reports characterize the construction as an ongoing project, citing the length completed to date and the fact that it cuts through areas affected by demolition. Both sources focus on the scale of the work and its location relative to destroyed or cleared communities, but they do not include further specifics such as the stated purpose of the barrier or independent verification of details beyond construction length and location.
