(Ynet News) Roi Yanovsky - Several Waqf guards attacked a group of archeologists on the Temple Mount last Wednesday. One archeologists who was attacked said, "This looked liked the beginning of a lynch." Tzachi Davira, who led the group, said, "This is a tourist and an investigative project. We sometimes do professional visits as visitors on the Temple Mount. There was never a problem. In the eastern section, where there are no police, one of the participants picked something up from the ground. It looked like an archeological artifact. But one of the Waqf administrators...came towards us and asked us to leave without any authority....Seven or eight of them came....They blocked the way so we couldn't call to the police and it got physical. They put [tour guide] Yuval Marcus, one of the members of the group, on the ground and started hitting him."
