Heavy rains lash roads, cities across country

Heavy rains continue to fall from the north to the south of the country, causing major traffic on roads and turning inner city thoroughfares into impromptu flowing streams.

Thirty-one centimeters (about 12 inches) of rain have fallen in Jerusalem in the past three hours while Tel Aviv, Tzfat, and Haifa have seen around 20 centimeters (almost 8 inches) each.

Several roads in the capital became flooded from the excess rain water.

Several major roads accross the country have been closed.
