Israel is set to experience extreme weather this weekend with forecast highs of up to 47 degrees Celsius (116°F) in some places to be followed by rain and thunderstorms.
The forecast sees temperatures rising sharply on Saturday with a hot, easterly windstorm, known as sharav, hitting the country.
Most cities will see temperatures of between 38-40 degrees C (100-104°F,) while the Sea of Galilee could hit 47.
The heatwave is expected to break on Sunday with rain and thunderstorms predicted.
