Jerusalem pelted by hail as first rains hit country
Flooding also reported across the interior, from the Galilee to the Negev
A severe hailstorm hit Jerusalem late this morning, as the first significant rainfall of the season arrived. The rains have fallen primarily on the southern and eastern parts of the country, caused flooding in several places. Flooding blocked highway 90 between Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea, and rescue workers are trying to extricate a bus filled with children that got stranded in the flood. Several vehicles also got stuck in floods in Beer Sheba and other places in the south. The drivers were rescued by emergency teams, no casualties or injuries have been reported. In the north heavy winds caused a tree to collapse on a car in Nahariya, mildly injuring the occupants. A man was struck by lightning while walking in a field in the Galilee. He is in hospital, in satisfactory condition.
