Storm moves in, lashing coastal towns and wounding 2
Stormy weather lashes the coastline and begins to move inland, raising concerns regarding flash floods over the weekend.
Powerful winds and rain briefly close Ben Gurion Airport, forcing an incoming El Al flight to land for the first time at Ramon airport near the southern city of Eilat.
The Magen David Adom rescue service says there are a number of people hurt in weather-related incidents around the country. A restaurant umbrella blown away in a gust of wind strikes a 46-year-old man in Tel Aviv. Part of the stone facing of a building in Ashdod hits a 33-year-old man in the head.
Both men are taken to hospital. Their condition is not immediately known.
In Beersheba, several cars are damaged from trees felled by gusting winds.
