Excavations in the Turkish barracks (Kishle) building south of King David's Citadel have unearthed six layers of archaeological history—from an Ottoman police station later used by the British to walls from the reigns of Hezekiah, the Hasmoneans and Herod. "Jewish members of the pre-state underground militias were incarcerated here by the British and one can still see a map of the Greater Land of Israel scratched by the prisoners onto one of the walls," states the Tower of David website. Among the evidence uncovered at King Herod's Jerusalem palace, perhaps the very palace in which the three Magi (Wise Men or Kings) inquired about the new born king of the Jews, is the oldest of the location's findings, including the palace's retaining walls and drainage system.

On Monday, two young Israelis died in two separate stabbing incidents. Three others were wounded. In the first incident, an 18-year-old Palestinian repeatedly stabbed an Israeli Defense Forces soldier in a Tel Aviv train station. The assailant was trying to get the soldier's automatic weapon. A passerby who intervened was also injured. The soldier later succumbed to his wounds.
