Of course ANY work on the Temple Mount should be under careful archaeological supervision with meticulous documentation. But can you tell us more, please? What is going on? Has the Israel Antiquities Authority authorised it? If so, on what grounds? Is it needed to stop something falling down?

I don`t share the assumption of some here that damaging work has been authorised just to be nice to the Muslims, but conspiracy theories will flourish in the absence of clear explanation.
