Storm Barbara is raging in Israel, so residents have been warned of possible power outages as strong wind gusts are observed.

According to the Israeli media, special attention is now being paid to the mountainous areas, where weather conditions are expected to be the most difficult. Generators, which will replace the cable power system if necessary, are now on their way. In Haifa, the operation of the cable car is suspended due to the storm.

Flooding is expected due to heavy rains. In this regard, the Fire and Rescue Service urges citizens to follow life-saving instructions.
