you missed this Hummmmm?

A campaign in the Arab-language media to get Palestinians and Israeli Arabs to amass at the Temple Mount and "defend" the Al-Aqsa Mosque had spurred fears of possible riots, but no violence ensued

The Israel Antiquities Authority is carrying out the excavation work near an unused ramp leading up to the Mugrabi Gate, an entrance to the Temple Mount, which engineers have said is in danger of collapse. The dig precedes the planned construction of a new Mugrabi bridge, which is slated to replace a makeshift wooden bridge built above the ramp three years ago to connect the Old City's Dung Gate with the Mugrabi Gate.

The wooden bridge has allowed tou rists, security forces and Jewish visitors to enter the Temple Mount via the Mugrabi Gate, located next to the Western Wall. Police demanded its construction after part of the ramp buckled on a snowy night in February 2004.

The excavation is taking place alongside a salvage dig in the nearby archeological park, in one of the most sensitive spots in Israel: at the foot of the southwest corner of a wall in the Temple Mount compound.



Im sure if it fell and killed someone it would be Israels fault too.......Never ends.....
