Money problems delay completion of fence in North

[Gimel]

Completion of the security fence in the North is being delayed because of the non-transfer of some NIS 380 million, according to senior officials of the Public Committee for the Security Fence for Israel, headed by Maj.-Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan.

Marc Luria, spokesman for the committee, said that most of the fence, between the Megiddo junction and Beit She'an could have been finished several months ago.

This, he maintained, would have dramatically reduced the serious security alerts in the North last week, because the options of would-be terrorists to infiltrate Israel would have been minimal.
