Extreme precipitation: Israel - sinking (video)

Israel was hit by cold weather with showers and snowfall, resulting in large-scale flooding in many cities of the country.

The streets of Israeli cities have turned into rivers, leading some residents to use kayaks for easy transportation.

In addition, dozens of cars were flooded, in some areas life just stopped. Rescue services were called in to rescue people stuck in their vehicles.
