OCCUPIEd JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Shmuel Rabinovich, the so-called rabbi of the Western Wall, has warned of the fall of big rocks over heads of Jewish worshippers near the Buraq Wall, which is 18 meters high.
Hebrew daily Ma'ariv quoted the rabbi as saying that small rocks at the upper part of the Wall and buildings in the Jewish suburb in occupied Jerusalem were small unlike the big ones in the lower part of those buildings.
He said that those small rocks could collapse anytime.
The paper quoted archeological experts as saying that cement used in maintaining the wall quickly eroded, due to weather conditions, more than the material used in ancient times.
However, the Israel Antiquities Authority said that there was no imminent danger of collapse in those walls and in the Jewish suburb because the rainy season was over and the Authority was doing its routine maintenance at present to prevent any possible collapse in the coming winter.
