Sneeuw in Jeruzalem en omstreken; mooie plaatjes, maar ook overlast. Daarnaast eveneens sneeuwpret, sneeuwpoppen die van strijdbaarheid getuigen en sneeuwbalgevechten die tot echte gevechten leiden.

Two Palestinians suffered gunshot wounds in clashes with Israeli settlers and soldiers in separate incidents in the northern West Bank on Thursday, an official said.
Dozens of residents of Yitzhar settlement clashed with Palestinians who were playing in the snow in the nearby Urif village, south of Nablus, settler-monitoring official Ghassan Daghlas said.
Israeli forces arrived at the scene and tried to persuade the Palestinian to leave, but they refused, he said.
Tareq Zedan al-Safad,i 22, was shot in a live bullet in his leg in the clashes, and was transferred to Rafida hospital in Nablus.
