The Earth Times website reports today (November 21, 2010) that tomorrow Israel will start building a 240-kilometer fence along its southwest border with Egypt to stop terrorists, illegal migrants, and smuggling.

Engineers and bulldozers will start working November 22 on the plan that includes a fence and surveillance equipment, such as sensors to detect human movement.

The security measures are expected to cost $358 million, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry.

More than 10,000 people have illegally entered Israel so far this year.
