Landmines in Israel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Landmines in Israel
Landmines in Israel have been a problem since the 1950s and 1960s. Campaigns to clear the landmines, led by a coalition of civil-society organizations, mine-affected communities and land mine survivors, operated from 2009 to 2011, until the Knesset passed the Minefield Clearance Act.〔Knesset 2011.〕 According to this law, the Israel Mine Action Authority was established and began clearing minefields in 2012. == History ==
More than 1.5 million〔Hashmonai 2010.〕 land mines laid during the 1950s and 1960s contaminate a combined area of 50,000 acres in the Golan Heights, in the Arava Valley and along the Jordan River.〔AP 2011.〕 This includes more than 300,000 land mines contaminating 5,000 acres of agricultural and residential land in the West Bank, with unexploded ordnance further making sites inaccessible.〔Peper 2011.〕 A State Comptroller audit conducted in the late 1990s found that hundreds of minefields no longer contributed to Israel's security and that no government agency had presented a plan to clear them.〔White 2010, p. xviii〕
