AFP: Israel builds a unique 20ft high 'missile net' on border to defend its new airport
* The 21-mile fence runs along Israel's border with Jordan on its eastern border
* It reaches the site of a new airport being constructed in the Timna Valley
* Missile fence is designed to stop projectiles and surface-to-surface missiles
Israel has built a unique 'missile net' to defend a new airport, as part of a newly-completed segment of its eastern border barrier, a military official said Friday.
The 34-kilometre (21-mile) fence runs along Israel's border with Jordan, beginning near the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat and reaching the site of a new airport being constructed in the Timna Valley.
The fence, 6 metres (20 feet) high, is part of a broader strategy by Israel to surround itself by barriers, including at its southwestern border with Egypt, to prevent militants and migrants crossing the border illegally.
