Sieg heil: Israhell's 'Berlin Wall' halts migrants from Egypt

The number of migrants crossing the border between Egypt and Israel dropped to zero last week for the first time since 2006, as construction of the last small sections of a 240-kilometre fence neared completion.

A total of 36 migrants crossed into Israel from Egypt in December, all of whom were detained, compared with 2295 in January last year. The numbers steadily declined throughout last year as construction of the vast steel fence through the desert from Eilat to the border with Gaza progressed.

''We have succeeded in blocking the phenomenon of illegal infiltrators,'' the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said.

''It has been several months now that no infiltrator has reached [the Israeli cities of] Eilat, Be'er Sheva, Tel Aviv or any Israeli community.''

Israel was repatriating migrants to their countries of origin, he said.

''For several months now hundreds of infiltrators have been leaving here … and thousands will soon do so every month until the tens of thousands of people who are here illegally return to their countries of origin.''
