Great news for winter weather enthusiasts – Mount Hermon has received a significant snowfall of 30cm at its lower levels, creating a stunning winter landscape in northern Israel. However, travelers should know that heavy rains and thunderstorms are affecting the northern regions and coastal plains this morning.

Planning a trip to Mount Hermon? The ski resort area is currently classified as a closed military zone due to ongoing security situations. Mount Hermon representatives note that “this snow system would certainly have provided opportunities for northern tourism, especially during Passover. Currently, the reality is complex and different, and we all pray for the end of the war.”

If you’re visiting Israel during winter months, the northern regions can experience dramatic weather changes.
