- Story Text: The Israeli occupied West Bank was blanketed in snow for the first time in years on Thursday (February 18) after a snowstorm hit the region.
On the usually busy streets of Hebron and Ramallah were only a few cars trying to navigate the fog and icy roads and children built snowmen with their families.
In the biblical city of Bethlehem, snow adorned the bell tower of the Church of Nativity, revered by Christians as the birthplace of Jesus Christ.
Due to the harsh weather conditions, schools and offices were closed across the West Bank and Gaza.
