Could the weather affect turnout at the polls? The Israel Meteorological Service issued a special notice Friday morning ahead of Tuesday's election day, warning of rain and potential flash floods across wide areas of the country.
According to the service, rain is expected from midday Tuesday in the Negev, the Arava and the Dead Sea region. The rainfall raises a real risk of flash floods in southern streams, and the public is urged to stay alert and keep away from streambeds and drainage channels.
