Towards the end of the weekend, the Meteorological Service issued an alert for exceptional weather expected to hit Israel from north to south, with unusual amounts of precipitation that could cause flooding and flooding.

Many emergency authorities in Israel are preparing to deal with the expected storm damage. However, in conjunction with reliable reports of the expected weather, a wrong message was issued today that Thursday morning snow is expected in Jerusalem.

Due to the excitement of the network, the Jerusalem Municipality issued a clarification message on its Facebook page stating that it is expected to be stormy, but snow is not expected to hit the capital.

"No snow - you will be dancing," the municipality's Facebook page says, "in recent hours, news networks have been circulating about snow forecasts in the city this weekend. This is a false message and unfortunately (!) - according to the updated forecasts snow is not expected. But it's going to be windy and cold, so we just wanted to mention that Hotline 106 runs 24/7 and also some winter clichés: Fake-Chocolate-Book-Netflix. And don't forget thick socks. "
