In the middle of March 2024, a short and stormy winter system passed through Israel. Strong thunderstorms, heavy rains, and hail hit many areas of the country.
During this video, I combined many shots I took of massive thunderstorms, most of them in Netanya in the central coastal plain and in Alfe Menashe in the middle of the country. Most of the storms were very strong and intense, especially in the last part of the video.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed it in reality.
