The end of January has brought snow to Hebron and much of the greater
Hebron Hill Regional Council area. The cold, white stuff, so rare for the
Middle East, fell from the sky and covering the Tomb of Machpela and other
holy sites in the city. While the predicted snow storm missed Jerusalem, it was a
welcome novelty for Hebron residents. Although snow falls almost every winter in the
region, it usually does not last for long. Enjoy these photographs of Hebron in snow
