Route 1 closed; Jerusalem sealed off to cars
Highway 1, the main road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, has been closed in the approaches to the capital.
With road 60 north to the West Bank and highway 443 northwest to Tel Aviv both shut, Jerusalem is now all but sealed off to vehicular traffic as the winter storm gathers force.
Traffic police and army units are on standby to conduct rescues of vehicles that may get stuck on those roads despite the closures.
