Heavy rains flood Jordan Valley highway

Heavy rains have returned to parts of Israel, a day after downpours caused severe flooding in some Tel Aviv suburbs.

On Route 90 in the Jordan Valley, rescuers were called out after three cars were reported to be stuck in a flash flood near the West Bank settlement of Petzael.

One car was pulled out and rescuers were searching for the other two, according to Walla News.

Parts of the same road near the Dead Sea and south were briefly closed to traffic.

Some 35 millimeters of water have fallen on parts of the coastal region since Wednesday night, according to Ynet.
