Israeli authorities carried out an operation in Jerusalem's City of David on June 15, 2026, to reclaim state-owned land and restore archaeological areas near ancient burial caves.

The operation was conducted by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority with assistance from security forces. Video shows workers clearing debris, removing damaged materials, and restoring areas surrounding burial caves believed to date to the Second Temple period.

Footage documents cleanup efforts both inside and outside the caves, including the removal of waste, dismantling of metal fixtures, inspection of archaeological features, and operation of heavy equipment at the site.
