Snow drifts onto Hermon as winter storm blows in
Precious snowflakes have begun falling on Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights, the first blast of the white stuff this winter, as the season’s inaugural storm is set to bluster through the region.
The snow comes with high winds and rain, which drenched northern Israel overnight and has begun to move south into the rest of the country, leading to flash flood fears in some areas.

Temperatures are expected to drop overnight during the peak of the storm hits.
The storm comes at the end of a long and unseasonable dry spell which saw a rash of wildfires break out.
