Heavy rain and hailstorms caused widespread flooding and damage across Israel on Tuesday, leading to road closures and emergency rescues. Sections of major routes in the south and north were shut due to rising waters, and a portion of the security fence in the Hebron Hills collapsed under the strain of the weather. Emergency services responded to multiple incidents of people trapped in vehicles and homes, but no injuries were reported. The Israel Meteorological Service recorded record-breaking rainfall in the center of the country, following a period of unusually high temperatures just days earlier.
