TOI reports that the spell of cold and rainy weather was set to continue Wednesday, with authorities warning of the ongoing risk of dangerous flash floods in Israel’s south until Thursday.

Some snow was expected in the Hermon Mountain area in the north on Wednesday.

The skies will be clearer by Friday, with a warm weekend ahead.

Earlier Monday, three women caught up in a flood in their vehicle near Eilat were rescued and transported to Yoseftal Hospital in the city for frostbite treatment, police said.

The military said Israeli Air Force helicopters and forces from the IDF’s Unit 669, a combat rescue and evacuation force, rescued multiple civilians Monday night across southern Israel, in cooperation with the Israel Police, Magen David Adom medics, the Israel Fire and Rescue Services, and regional rescue units.

Authorities urged “citizens to show responsibility and not go near the flood areas.”
