What are the tunnels for? Does the Western Wall form part of an underground temple, hence the tunnels?

King Hezekiah built the tunnel system in preparation for war with the Assyrians, somewhere between 140 and 37 BC. The purpose of this tunnel system was to channel water from the Shihan siphon spring into Jerusalem. It was this same spring where David brought the ark of the covenant to.
