More Winter Storms in Israel

Israel has been hammered with significant storms this winter.  Another large snowstorm hit Israel on Thursday night, leaving snow as far south as Be’er Sheva, a city that has not seen snow in about 20 years.  Ten inches fell in Jerusalem.  Following are some pictures of various places in Israel.
