Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth warns that the proposed border fence to be built on the occupied-Palestinian-Jordanian border "will not solve the problem."

The Israeli regime fears a "potential Iranian presence" along the eastern border, which could "lead to a wave of hostile attacks," the use of drones, and the smuggling of weapons into occupied Palestinian territory. 

According to the newspaper, Israeli settlers living next to the border are unsettled as their fears of "hostile operations" materialize. 

In late October this year, a group of Resistance fighters infiltrated the settlement of Neot HaKikar in the Tamar Regional Council, injuring two soldiers, a development that has heightened concerns among both settlers and authorities. 

Another incident in November saw a Jordanian-registered vehicle breach a barbed-wire fence near Kibbutz Sama, in southern occupied Palestine. 

Despite the promises of Israeli politicians of fortifying the border and constructing a "strong barrier," funding for these plans has been delayed. As a result, settlers along the eastern border believe that they face real threats.

Former National Security Council head Giora Eiland previously warned of the resurgence of operations originating from Jordan. Eiland noted that Jordan's proximity to Eilat, a port city settlement in southern occupied Palestine, makes the area and other sensitive sites prone to attacks. 

He asserted that "Israel" faces two particularly challenging threats which include mortar fire and the launch of short-range attack drones from the Jordanian side of Wadi Araba

Eiland drew parallels with difficulties in addressing the threat of short-range one-way attack drones launched from Lebanon.

Recently, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterated Israel's decision to construct an "eastern fence" along the border with Jordan.
