Stones from the roof of a church adjacent to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem on Friday suddenly fell without causing harm to anyone sources told the PIC reporter.
The sources explained that the construction of the church dates back to the 17th century and that the last restoration taking place in the building was a century ago.
The Israeli police closed off the area to keep worshipers away until repairs are carried out in the ancient building which is known for its archaeological and religious value.
For his part Adeeb al-Husseini who is in charge of the key of the Holy Sepulcher said on his Facebook page that stones fell from the roof after nearly 50 Ethiopian worshippers had finished prayers and left the place. He added that serious damage was caused to the church but no injuries were reported.
