How much of that 100 meters is Israeli land? If it is all Palestinian land, then Israel has no jurisdiction. The Palestinians should be able to work their land right up to the fence.

Quiet enough?

The quiet before the storm. Hamas will now attempt to import chemical weapons from Iran. Hezbollah already had them. We should have eliminated Hamas with a ground offensive.
