The buffer zone
combines a "sterile zone" created between two lines of concertina
barbed wire fences and a high taut wire fence, which acts as a
"trip wire" for alerting on possible penetration, A deep mobility
obstacle, and patrol roads on both sides complete the physical
dimension of the buffer zone. Several companies are providing the
fences, including Magal, Elbit's Detektion division both provide
the touch sensitive fence and Moserot, which provides the
concertina. Other companies are currently bidding for the supply
of complementing systems, which should improve the effectiveness
of the buffer zone, while deploying much smaller forces, dramatically reduinge the life cycle cost of the project which
have already absorbed close to US$ 250 million per 120 km.
