Border barriers

Turkish security forces have made notable progress in reducing illegal crossings, smuggling and terrorist infiltration along the country's 295-kilometer border with Iran, with the construction of a protective wall in Van province now 70 percent complete.

In addition to taking control of the corridor, Israel has intensified its incursion into Rafah

The Israeli army has announced that it controls the strategic zone along the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Corridor. This area spans 8 kilometers and, in some places, is more than 100 meters wide. The military claims to have discovered 20 tunnels used by the radical Palestinian group Hamas to smuggle weapons into Gaza.

Israel's army said Wednesday it took control of a vital Gaza-Egypt corridor it suspects aided weapons smuggling as  U.S. said new U.N. resolution on the war in Gaza will not going to change the situation on the ground.

The entrenching work, as well as the construction of a modular wall and observation tower to prevent illegal activity, are underway on the Turkish-Iranian border.
