Because of the bombs: At Rachel's Tomb they raised the fence to prevent terrorist attacks • Watch

 Following the dumping of the charges: Today (Sunday), the fence located in front of Rachel's Tomb was raised in order to ensure maximum security for the worshippers who flock to pray at the Tomb of Our Mother Rachel. This is in light of the escalation near the Rachel's Tomb complex in Bethlehem, with the increase in attacks involving the throwing of explosive devices or Molotov cocktails towards the tomb complex. Rabbi Zvi Uziahu, one of the rabbis of the 'Rachel's Tomb Institutions', says: "Despite the escalation, hundreds of people still flock to Rachel's Tomb every day these days to pray. We thank the security forces who have prepared and increased the security around the tomb complex, including raising the fence. The kollel abrechs and the worshippers who come to the tomb complex feel the tensions and hope and pray for quieter days." [Gallery]
