Falling Boulder Narrowly Misses Worshipper at Israel's Western Wall
July 24, 2018
A boulder fell from an ancient structure in Israel, nearly striking a woman. The rock crashed on to a raised wooden platform, narrowly missing the female worshipper. It happened at the Western Wall, in the Old City of Jerusalem. The wall is a sacred site for Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. It was built more than 2,000 years ago as part of the Second Jewish Temple. An official with Israel's Antiquities Authority said "dampness" may have caused the stone to dislodge from the wall.
