That is a somewhat foolish response.

As usual, our friend "Tinmore" is 100% wrong.
When does that military distinguish itself from non-combatants?
(COMMENT)
Like in North America, the UK, the EU, and even the Russian Federation, immigration and border protection and enforcement are handled by the civilian agencies; not so dissimilar from Israel and the duties of the Border Police
(emphasis on "Border").
It is NOT a "military project." Now, if the engineers were making tank traps or building artillery platforms and infiltration tunnels, that would be different. But border improvements, repairs, and maintenance are not "military projects."

Building a cage is for the military no matter how you try to slice it.
(COMMENT)
A cage keeps something
inside. That is very different from a Border Perimeter that keeps something
outside.
In this case, the border perimeter is keeping the Hostile Arab Palestinians
(and other undesirables) from gaining access
(keeping outside) to Israeli sovereign territory. This is much the same concept as a fence around private property, and barriers to prevent thieves and hostiles from entering a space/area for criminal purposes.
