Israel Builds Fence Along Sinai Border

Israel's concerns about southern border security heightened last summer when gunmen crossed from Egypt and attacked Israeli civilians. Israel is building a seven-meter-high fence across the desert border.

Israel's new fence along its border with Egypt has taken on new importance since the popular uprising in Egypt prompted Cairo to withdraw many of its security forces from the Sinai to deal with civil unrest.
