The southern occupied West Bank province of al-Khalil has been hit by snowfall and severe winter cold exacerbating the difficulties for thousands of people already desperately seeking a respite from the simmering Israeli aggressions and crackdowns in the area.
Rounds of snowfall swamped al-Khalil province from west to north over the past 24 hours swathing the city in a white cover that is rarely spotted in the region.
Deputy-Director of the local Civil Defense Ibrahim Abu Hassan said defense crews have been on guard to any emergency situation calling on the locals to remain vigilant.
Efforts have meanwhile been underway by al-Khalil municipality to restore normal traffic and daily red tape in the city.
Snow days are exciting for Palestinian children across the occupied Palestinian territories where Israel’s terrorism has reached a zenith. But harsh cold and treacherous wintry weather can make it difficult to get outdoors and play.
