TEMPLE MOUNT UPDATE:

Here are some photographs of the collapsed embankment. And heres an article in the Jerusalem Post on the efforts to repair the bulge on the south wall of the Temple Mount. The work was reported to be finished last month, but evidently it isn't. Excerpt:

Following a one hour police-escorted tour of the ancient compound Tuesday, [Minister-without-Portfolio Natan] Sharansky, responsible for Jerusalem and Diaspora affairs, said that slabs of new stone and two tractors filmed last month at the site were being used by Jordanian workers to complete repairs on a bulge on the southern wall.

Earlier this month, the head of the Jordanian team, Dr. Raief Najim, had said that the year-long repair work on the bulge on the southern wall had been completed, but that additional restoration work was needed in other areas of the 2,000-year old wall.

But officials say that, despite the Jordanian announcement and a recent Technion report on the state of repair work at the bulge, the work at the site is far from over. Sharansky said that it appeared to him that the repair work on the bulge was less than 50% complete.
