TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH:

W. Wall stones in danger of crumbling
By ETGAR LEFKOVITS (Jerusalem Post)

First it was the southern wall of the Temple Mount. Then it was a section of the ancient walls of Masada that were in danger of collapse. Now, it's the turn of the stones of Jerusalem's Western Wall.

Repairs are scheduled for shortly after Passover, but the halakhic issues are complex.
