Chief of Staff Major General Herzi Halevi visited IDF Unit 96 positions along the Jordan border on Wednesday, inspecting new barrier infrastructure being constructed along the frontier. The visit comes as the military enhances defensive capabilities in the Jordan Valley, described as Israel’s “defensive shield.”

During the tour, Halevi emphasised the strategic importance of the eastern border: “The Jordan Valley is our defensive shield, we must anticipate threats,” according to Israeli media reports. He stressed the necessity for military readiness to respond to unexpected developments, even without advance warning.

The visit reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen Israel’s defensive posture along its eastern border with Jordan, with the military planning to reinforce the line of defence protecting civilian communities in the region.
