More snow falls at Mount Hermon ski resort, closed amid war

The Kan public broadcaster reports some seven centimeters (2.7 inches) of snow fell overnight on the upper parts of the Mount Hermon ski resort, with lower altitudes receiving a dusting of around three centimeters (1.1 inches).

The resort saw its first snowfall of the season yesterday.

The Hermon site has been closed for over a year now by military order amid rocket and drone attacks by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon.

The resort saw some 400,000 visitors in the winter of 2022-23 and zero in 2023-24, adding to the region’s economic woes.
