Israel working on anti-missile berm near Gaza border

The Defense Ministry has begun building a large dirt berm along a road that runs near the northern Gaza Strip, to protect vehicles from anti-tank missiles being shot by Palestinian terrorists, Ynet reports.

A video published by the Kan public broadcaster shows the berm near Kissufim and the Black Arrow memorial site. In November, a bus recently emptied of soldiers was hit by an anti-tank missile there, seriously injuring the driver.

Earlier this month, an Israeli man was killed when an anti-tank missile shot from Gaza hit his car near Erez, in the same area.
