Israelis sweltered on Wednesday as temperatures soared amid a weeklong heatwave, with electricity usage breaking records and the broiling weather sending many indoors to stay cool.
Israel Meteorological Service (IMS) data showed temperatures in the southern resort city of Eilat hitting 48.8 degrees Celsius (119.8 degrees Fahrenheit). In the country’s far north Galilee panhandle, the mercury climbed nearly as high, hitting 46.8°C (116.2°F) in Kfar Blum, south of Kiryat Shmona.
In the Jordan Valley’s Kibbutz Gilgal in the West Bank, the temperature hit a searing 49.7°C (121.5°F) — the highest in the country, according to the IMS. It also set a new record for the Jordan Valley, which had previously stood at 49.3°C (120.7°F).
This heat wave was promised to them 3000 years ago.
oh no… anyways… how are those poor Palestinians without power and water doing?
Must be tough for them in that climate with so much european phenotypes. I guess that’s why the skin cancer rate there is so high. Transplanted population.
The Palestinians have no AC. :’(
Maybe Yahweh sees what they’ve been up to in Gaza.
I suppose on the bright side, the Israel-Palestine conflict will end if the land stops being suited to human habitation anyway…
The antisemitism within this group is disappointing but not surprising
Oh no…the poor, genocidal Zionists with water and air-con…
Don’t worry I’m sure the US will pay their electric bill. Gotta keep those Palestinian kids nice and bombed!
I am more worried for the Palestinians as they lack basic food and water, yet alone AC
As a reminder, depending on which metric you use, somewhere between 50 and 65% of Gaza was powered by solar.
Which is course is now rubble.
Meanwhile, Israel is decades behind their Paris Climate Accord goals since 2015, thanks to Netanyahu, who wants to turn Israel into a net exporter of natural gas.
Guess where the two biggest gas fields in the region are?
