The Crusades are considered holy wars because they were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church with the aim of reclaiming holy land, specifically Jerusalem, from Muslim control. The crusaders believed they were fighting for a righteous cause and were granted absolution for their sins.
No war has been fought for control of the Western Wall, per se, but dozens of wars have been fought over control of the Old City of Jerusalem in order to control the holy sites of the city. The last such war was in 1967, the Six-Day War.
