Hagai Huberman: Deep IDF operations thwart terror - not separation fence

.
And where is the separation fence?

In all the above descriptions (of successful Israeli security operations to
thwart terror activity) a famous element that is for some reason considered
significant in everything related to thwarting terror is missing - the
separation fence.

Let us repeat and say what has already been noted innumerable times in the
past: the separation fence is by its nature a political fence. It is meant
to set the future border between Israel and the Palestinian state, more or
less on the Green Line, with minor changes and adjustments. It has no
security significance. Its contribution to thwarting attacks is marginal,
if at all. The IDF succeeds in thwarting attacks only thanks to its
intensive activity deep in the territory of Judea and Samaria - within
Nablus, within Jenin, within Hebron - in each and every place without
limitation." .
