JERUSALEM (AP) — Jerusalem was blanketed in white on Thursday after a winter storm lined a lot of the area’s increased altitudes with snow.

The holy metropolis’s iconic golden Dome of the Rock was dusted in snow. Foremost highways to Jerusalem and its main arteries had been shut, and faculties and companies closed for the day as municipal snowplows labored to clear streets.

Israel Police additionally closed main highways within the mountainous West Financial institution as a result of hazardous highway circumstances.

Snowfall within the hills round Jerusalem is rare, occurring maybe as soon as per winter.

A winter storm has been battering the japanese Mediterranean, bringing heavy rains and wind to the Center East. Istanbul and Athens had been lined in snow earlier this week.
