Iraq Establishes Seven-Layer Security Barrier on Syrian Border

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Iraq‘s Ministry of Interior announced on Friday the establishment of a seven-layer security barrier along the country’s border with Syria. Brigadier General Abbas Al-Bahadli, the ministry’s spokesperson, emphasized that no security gaps or high-risk zones exist, with border forces maintaining high alert.

Al-Bahadli revealed that Iraq’s Ministry of Interior had developed a preemptive border security plan three years prior to current developments. The comprehensive strategy includes trenches, embankments, quadruple barriers, barbed wire, concrete towers, cement walls, and the deployment of fixed-wing thermal and laser drones.

The security deployment focuses on three main components: border forces, the Iraqi Army, and Popular Mobilization Forces. Measures incorporate human resources across three defensive lines, engineering efforts, and advanced technologies such as motion sensors and surveillance cameras.
