 In the summer of 1929 , the Mufti Haj Amin Al Husseinni ordered an opening be made at the southern end of the alleyway which straddled the Wall . The former cul @-@ de @-@ sac became a thoroughfare which led from the Temple Mount into the prayer area at the Wall . Mules were herded through the narrow alley , often dropping excrement . This , together with other construction projects in the vicinity , and restricted access to the Wall , resulted in Jewish protests to the British , who remained indifferent .
