From a buffer zone to attack drones and more troops, the army plans to keep Israel safe by taking a zero-tolerance approach to tunnel building or any other disturbance

KHUZA’A, Gaza Strip — Fewer than two kilometers (1.2 miles) separates the towns of Khuza’a from Kibbutz Nir Oz. The land between the Gazan and Israeli communities is taken up by a patchwork of neat farm fields and a fence that Hamas commandos from Khuza’a tore through with ease on October 7.
The terrorists of Hamas’s elite Nukhba force that invaded Nir Oz made the journey from Khuza’a in minutes, equipped with maps and motorcycles. Hours later, they left behind a demolished kibbutz soaked in the blood of 38 slain victims, taking 77 hostages with them.
To ensure such horrors never occur again, the army, while fighting a war inside Gaza, is also fundamentally reconceiving how it defends Israel, especially the towns closest to the Palestinian enclave.
