Concrete walls are of course very expensive, but Israel builds them around urban areas, so your city can do the same. You can't stop a big invasion, but walls can make it hard for snipers, car bombers and such to attack a city and slow down an invasion for long enough for troops to be rallied inside.
Wall construction is more common in urban settings, e.g., Qalqilyah and Jerusalem, and in areas where people have been killed by snipers, e.g., the Trans-Israel Highway. These sections are narrower, require less land, and provide more protection against snipers. The width of some sections (about 6% of the barrier) is 3 metres (9.8 ft) where the barrier is constructed as a concrete wall up to 8 metres (26 ft) high. Some sections are wider (up to 100 metres (330 ft)) due to topographic conditions. On average, the barrier contains a 60-metre (200 ft) wide exclusion area. The West Bank walls should also be an inspiration.Ībout 90–95% of the barrier will be constructed as a "multi-layered fence system" with the Israeli Defense Forces' preferred design having three fences with pyramid-shaped stacks of barbed wire on the two outer fences and a lighter-weight fence with intrusion detection equipment in the middle an anti-vehicle ditch patrol roads on both sides and a smooth strip of sand for "intrusion tracking".
#Wrise of nations build walls windows#
The walls would be built with thick concrete, reinforced with steel, and the windows have steel shutters to protect them. If you have a ring of such houses in a town, you have a wall basically. Israeli buildings are often built with steel reinforced concrete, because of the risk of random bombings, and often have safe rooms with thicker walls. This is enough to deter casual vandalism and small calibre fire. Having steel shutters over vulnerable things is normal and expected in society. Steel walls are already common in cities where crime is high.
