The construction is being done by Israeli engineering teams under the supervision of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and the Lebanese army.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) unveiled the construction of the wall in earlier September, as part of the preparations Israel is making ahead of a possible conflict. The wall is being contested by Lebanon who says Israel is encroaching on its territory. Israel denies the accusation. According to the IDF, the construction will be completed in two years at the cost of several hundreds of millions of USD.
