Heavy rains are expected throughout central Israel this morning, and flooding is possible in coastal cities, as a winter storm hits its peak.

The Israel Meteorological Society has warned of the risk of flash floods around streams in the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea.

Floods are also possible in river channels in the south, and the public is warned to stay away.

The wintry weather will persist throughout the day and into tomorrow, when it is expected to ease up.
