Archaeologists find Jordanian weapons stash near Western Wall

Archeologists announce the discovery of a hiding place near the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City that was used by Jordanian soldiers to store weapons and ammunition during the 1967 Six Day War.

According to the Israel Antiquities Authority, the stash spot was found during excavations under the entrance to the Western Wall tunnels.

Among the items found were magazines filled with bullets, rifle parts and a bayonet.

Israel captured the Old City, East Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan during the Six Day War.
