TEMPLE MOUNT WATCH:
Massive 900-pound stone from Western Wall finds new permanent resting place. Six years after massive ancient stone fell from Western Wall onto non-segregated prayer section, narrowly missing woman in prayer, stone relocated to join other fallen stones in Jerusalem Archaeological Garden (Itamar Eichner, Ynet News).
For the original frightening but lucky incident, see here. The stone seems to have quadrupled in weight since then. For follow-ups, see here and links.
