The Dubbi volcano in Eritrea erupted last week and sent a plume of ash up to 15 kilometres into the air on Monday. The volcano began belching plumes of ash at about midnight on Sunday after a string of earthquakes.
According to scientists at the Israel Meteorological Service the volcanic ash cloud was heading toward Israel. According to current estimations, the ash cloud is moving high in the atmosphere, and will probably remain too high to cause any travel disruptions or changes in the quality of air.
Meteorologists confirmed that the ash cloud from an Eritrean volcano had indeed reached the Red Sea city of Eilat, but authorities insisted there was no health danger to civilians and also that flights at both Eilat Airport and Ben-Gurion International Airport were running on schedule.
In the north of the country, residents of the Golan and Galilee regions were surprised on Tuesday morning to awake to rain, an extremely rare occurrence during the summer months. The precipitation was accompanied by increased winds.
