Jerusalem's holy sites and West Bank carpeted in rare snow
27 Jan 2022; MEMO: A rare heavy snowfall covered Jerusalem and hilly areas in the occupied West Bank overnight into Thursday, shutting down roads and schools, Reuters reports.
Worshippers had to trudge through inches of snow to reach the holy sites in Jerusalem's walled Old City, including the snow-capped Dome of the Rock.
Heavy snow is rare in the city, so children went out into the streets to watch the flakes falling and hurl snowballs at each other.
