In addition to protecting the airport, the fence will stop migrants, criminals and terrorists from infiltrating into Israel from Jordan.
The fence along the Egyptian border has slashed the number of illegal African migrants arriving in Israel, with 14,669 infiltrations in 2010 to 213 in 2015, to 14 in 2016. But the number of successful infiltrations prompted authorities to raise the height of the fence from five to eight meters along a 17-kilometer stretch. There have been no infiltrations from Sinai since.
