Live Webcams in Israel

Israel's live webcams look into the heart of Jerusalem's Old City: the prayer plaza at the Kotel, Jerusalem's Western Wall, a surviving stretch of the retaining wall Herod raised around the Second Temple compound, destroyed in 70 CE, and the most sacred place of prayer in Judaism. The live webcams in Israel keep Israel Standard Time, UTC+2, UTC+3 in summer; the plaza is busiest at the morning prayers, around 05:00 UTC, and on Friday evening, when the Shabbat crowds arrive as the sun goes down through a night the city itself switches off. Bar mitzvah mornings on Mondays and Thursdays fill the men's section with song. Some 10 million people live in the country. Spring, March to May, and the autumn holidays, September and October, bring the largest crowds to the plaza; Yerushalayim is the local name of the city.
