Pilot Area Agreement Violated Again: New Earth Barrier Built
8/8/2026 1:21:30 PM
An Israeli military force advanced toward the town of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh shortly after midnight Friday-Saturday and erected a new earthen berm around the town square, in what the National News Agency described as a new violation of the “experimental zone agreement.”
Residents of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh said an Israeli infantry force, backed by several armored personnel carriers and a large bulldozer, advanced into the center of the town. The bulldozer then erected an earthen berm approximately 100 meters from the town square.
The Israeli forces remain stationed at their original position, just a few meters from the newly constructed berm, amid intensive low-altitude flights by Israeli aircraft and drones over the town.
