Tens of thousands of homes around Israel were left without electricity Friday as severe winter storms continued to batter the country.
More than 25 thousand families in Jerusalem and surrounding areas were cut off from power, Israel Radio reported.
The Israel Electric Company continues to work feverishly overnight on Friday in hopes of restoring power to tens of thousands of homes in Israel that are coping with the effects of this week’s devastating storm.
“We are expecting a second storm triple the size of the one we’ve seen now and possibly up to 20 inches of snow,” said municipality spokesperson Brachie Sprung Friday at 1:30 p.m. “During the storm the highways will remain closed and all public transportation services will be suspended.”
