It is a fact that the smart fence Israel has built along its border with Egypt has prevented illegal immigration of Africans coming through Egypt,
To contain the illegal entry of persons, construction of the
Egypt–Israel barrier commenced in 2012 and was completed in 2015. 9,570 citizens of various African countries entered Israel illegally in the first half of 2012, while only 34 did the same in the first six months of 2013, after construction of the main section of the barrier was completed.
[26][27][28] After the entire fence was completed, the number of migrant crossings had dropped to 16 in 2016.
