Winter’s first serious storm set to strike Friday
Israel is bracing for its first serious winter thunderstorm, which meteorologists say will hit the country by Friday morning.
Heavy rains are expected to begin on Thursday in the Galilee and spread south on Friday to Tel Aviv and the Negev, with flash floods expected in the riverbeds that crisscross the southern desert. Wind gusts will reach up to 100 kph (62 mph), and a snowstorm is expected to hit the country’s highest point on Mount Hermon on the Golan.
