Dozens of Israelis lined the quiet street in Migdal HaEmek to pay respects to fallen soldier Major Shachar Natanel Buzaglo, who was killed battling Hamas in Gaza.

Hundreds of Israelis on Monday evening convened at the Western Wall for a special prayer session to give thanks to God for the bountiful rain with which Israel has been blessed.

Israel is experiencing a much needed significant rainfall that is vital for maintaining sufficient water reserves. The amount of rain so far this season is ahead of the average rainfall for this point in the year.
