The Israeli government will begin construction on a 75 km construction wall along the Egyptian-Israeli Border next week, attempting to prevent refugees and militants from crossing the border illegally. The wall will stretch from Keram Shalom and Nitzana. The Israeli government will continue building the border wall between Eilat and Mount Sakhi, and is expected to complete it by the end of the year according to Israeli Radio Israeli security forces decided to build another wall surrounding Eilat from the southwest, claiming this region is exposed to significant infiltration from Egypt. The wall illustrates Israeli security forces' growing concern of increasing militant activities originating in the Sinai Peninsula.
