  "summary": "A record-breaking 117 mm of rain fell in the Sharon region of Israel within a 75-minute period on Saturday, causing severe flooding in Kadima-Zoran. The local council issued a stay-home order, urging residents to avoid non-essential outings and reporting hazards to the municipal 106 hotline. Emergency response teams, in coordination with police, fire and rescue services, the water corporation, and the drainage authority, were dispatched to clear hazards and drain standing water. Forecast for the coming days predicts intermittent rain with isolated thunderstorms in northern and central Israel, with localized flooding remaining a risk for coastal plain cities and flash flood risks in streams across the Judean Desert and the Dead Sea area.",
