Tegart's Wall was a barbed wire fence erected in May–June 1938 by British Mandatory authorities in the Upper Galilee near the northern border of the territory in order to keep militants from infiltrating from French-controlled Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon to join the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine. With time, the security system further included police forts, smaller pillbox-type fortified positions, and mounted police squads patrolling along it.
