Wintry weather continues to beautify Israel
With snow in the Golan and rain all over the north and center of the country, Israel is turning into a Middle Eastern winter wonderland, including snow on the peaks and rainbows all around.
Today will be the rainiest day of an already wintery week, which has seen the coastal highway closed due to flooding and snow fall on Mt. Hermon. Snow has also begun to fall in the northern Golan Heights towns of Majdel Shams and Nimrod.
Tuesday is expected to be colder than usual, with a drop in temperatures. Thunderstorms are expected in northern and central Israel, while scattered showers are expected in the north Negev region.

Meanwhile, a 3000 year old wall which has survived since the First Temple Period collapsed due to the heavy rainfall.
