Summary/Abstract: Security barriers and lines of reinforcements built during the wars conducted in the second half of the 20th and early in the 21st century in the Middle East were both to protect the areas and citizens inhabiting them, and to protect the planned operating theatres. The fortifications did not withhold the engagements of the attacking side. The lines of defence cannot replace the soldiers will to fight. Thus, the technical capacity for protecting armed effort through fortification will still be used by the combating parties. Even though the forms of engineering will be changing, they will play a large role as “security walls and fences” to protect citizens against the threat of terrorism.
