Watch: Smart Israeli Fence Being Built on the Jordan Border

[DavidSling]

Due to concerns regarding an infiltration of ISIS militants into Israel through Iraq and Jordan, the government decided to build a smart fence along Israel's eastern border

Around the month of June 2014, the Israeli government decided to build a smart fence along the eastern border with Jordan. This fence is expected to include technologies that are similar more or less to those of the smart fence already built on the Syrian border. It seems that Israel's primary concern is ISIS attacks that would come from Iraq, cross the Jordan, and reach the border with Israel.

Meanwhile, the fear that Jordan will fall into the hands of ISIS, as happened in Syria and Iraq, is stored in a soundproof box as far as the Israeli government is concerned. If you ask politicians and the military echelon, on record, they are rarely talking about the scope of the threat. On the Internet, rumors have been circulated that Israel supports Jordan through the transfer of military technologies as UAVs. Alongside these rumors, the United States supports Jordan in practice, through military equipment, and European countries operate jets from the Kingdom's military bases, bombing targets in Syria and Iraq.

But along with all the help received by the Jordanian Kingdom, the fear of a scenario in which ISIS creates chaos in Jordan, one that could lead to the collapse of the regime, has not faded. And thus, we build a fence. And it costs Israeli taxpayers quite a bit of money, so it is clear to any sensible person that such investment does not come without a concrete fear. It is possible that that IDF may also see "the day after ISIS" – even then, a Middle East divided into sub-states, does not bode well for the kingdom.

i had liked this idea always.. But for india, we need multiple tier solutions like Turkey Syria wall on borders with gun towers followed by Israel - Neighbors border fencing with automated systems + limited boots patrolling followed by a trench and finally real patrols...

Ridiculously big exercise for us but we need to use a fully automated system for detection and neutralization with minimum emphasis on human control hence limited boots.

But its a good method to keep your borders safe..

We would have mined the whole Pakistani border if it wasn't for villagers and animals movement near the borders.

Wall won't help Pakistan will pound it with artillery & mortar in order to make way for Infiltrator's ,only solution is 50 ft high 200 ft+ wide embankment with patrolling route between

Israel built smart fences across all it's borders (Syria, Lebanon and Egypt) but Jordan.
Now it's time to finish the job.
Sooner than later a laser system in form of improved Iron Beam (Laser) that will defend against mortar fire and rockets will enter into Israeli multilayer missile shield and will join Iron Dome, David Sling, Patriot, Arrow 2 & 3 defend Israel's skys against multiple threats.

What is it about these fence that warrent the qualification 'smart'?

What is it about these fence that warrent the qualification 'smart'?

Alot of sensors, unmanned vehicles like guardium and manned patrols, manned and unmanned positions.
Most of the technology is classified, but I guess any touch in the border fence will point the cameras to the the said position and technologies like the "sentry system" will be deployed
