The Israeli ministry of Defence yesterday said it had cooperated with border police forces in the reconstruction of the recently-collapsed parts of the Separation Wall in Jerusalem.
The ministry’s Engineering and Construction Department told Channel 7 that the wall had collapsed after “an accumulation of rubble” on its Palestinian side, and due to heavy rains in recent days.”
It added that the construction work consisted of “16 concrete walls, nine metres high and weighing 17 tonnes each.”
Videos circulating on social media on Friday showed a section of the illegal Separation Wall collapsing onto a road as a result of debris behind it in Al-Ram, occupied East Jerusalem.
