Large swaths of Eilat were flooded Friday as torrential rains hit Israel's southernmost city.
An estimated 16.5 inches of rain fell in Eilat, half the average annual amount, closing the airport and blocking entrance into the city via highway 90.
Rains were expected to continue intermittently into Monday.
