The IDF has a new job for you, as mentioned in this interesting look at the planned Gaza Strip border securities needed for the withdrawal already in motion.
Israel is increasing security at its border with the Gaza Strip in anticipation of next month’s withdrawal, the army said Thursday, disclosing details of a high-tech complex to ring the coastal strip with what it hopes will be the world’s most impenetrable barrier.
The barrier system will surround Gaza with fences, electronic sensors, watchtowers mounted with remote-control machine guns, and hundreds of video and night vision cameras, the military said.

If they pass this barrier, they would have to traverse a 130-yard swath of land — codenamed Hoover — filled with motion sensors and scanned by an array of day and night optical devices, before reaching the third and newest electronic fence.
Watchtowers armed with remote-controlled machine guns are to be built every 1.2 miles and within a year, remote-controlled, unmanned vehicles will begin patrolling the area.
It’s an interesting look at the planned border defenses of a nation that continuously only gets one shot at getting it right — lose and they’re gone, much to the joy of all of their neighbors. Add to that little pressure the threat of Palestinian terrorism and these border defenses must stay as many steps ahead of potential dangers as possible.

This is similar to the Air Force plan of remote controlled weaponry. In my view, this is an ideal recruiting tool that might get people to enlist.
