Jerusalem - Israel's Antiquities Authority has installed Internet cameras at an excavation site on hallowed ground in Jerusalem, so that anyone can monitor the work and ensure it does not negatively affect the holy site, Reuters reported. Last week, Palestinians protested the construction site, fearing it would damage the holy Muslim al-Aqsa mosque or Dome of the Rock. Israel has denied the excavation, part of a plan to create a walkway to a complex known to Jews as Temple Mount and Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif, will harm the site. "The Antiquities Authority invites the public in the country and in the world to monitor the excavations up close and to see what is being done on the ground at any given time," said Osnat Goaz, the group's spokeswoman.
