Construction on Israel-Jordan Border Fence Begins Sunday

The building of a border fence intended to bar those attempting to infiltrate into Israel from the east will commence on Sunday between Israel and Jordan.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon will officially announce the beginning of the project later today.

The fence on Israel's eastern border is being designed with the aim of having a similar effect in preventing the entrance of infiltrators as the fence on Israel's southern border with the Sinai Peninsula.

Thanks to the southern fence, the influx of infiltrators into the Jewish state was halted and the smuggling of goods and human beings into the country has been almost completely eradicated.
