Downpours bring flooding fears to Israel, Gaza
2023-12-14
God agrees Gazan tunnels should be flooded.
[IsraelTimes] Heavy rains across the region are sparking fears of flooding in both Israel and the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, as a low-pressure system moves through the area.

Readings from Israel’s meteorological service show areas near the Gaza border getting nearly 30 mm of the wet stuff over the past 24 hours, around a quarter of the average for December.

According to al-Jazeera, areas in south Gaza have experienced flooding due to the rains.

In Israel, the Nature and Parks Authority announces that several popular hiking paths are being closed due to flash flood worries.

Closures include all of Ein Gedi National Park aside from the first waterfall from the entrance, rappeling sites and hiking paths along normally dry river beds in the Judean Desert, and hiking paths along cliffs in the Arbel nature reserve near the Sea of Galilee in the north.

Nahal Bokek and the Yotvata Hai Bar nature reserve in the south are also closed due to the weather.

The rain is expected to taper off throughout the morning, giving way to dry, chilly conditions.

#10  Ummm...it’s been a while since I took biology, but where the water reaches in even the deepest example at Skidmark’s link is nowhere near the waists of the gentlemen involved.

Ambulance would never have made it that far on its own; not without a snorkel. Still it floated so no tire traction anyways.

Holy sump pumps, Batman! I'm sure the tunnel designers planned to handle an inch of rain.
