The army has begun building what Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz has called "specialized defense packages" in two relatively isolated Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Construction in several other communities will begin in the coming days. The basic "package" consists of buffer zones, two sets of lighting, obstacles, and an electronic fence, adapted to the needs of each community.



The cost for perimeter protection around the communities is some six times less per kilometer than for the wall being constructed between the Arab-populated areas of Yesha and the rest of Israel. The latter partition comprises concrete walls and other vehicular traffic-preventative elements.
