A fourth COVID-19 vaccine dose given to those aged over 60 made them three times more resistant to serious illness than those who received three shots, a study released by Israels Health Ministry on Sunday found. The fourth dose, or second booster, also made older adults twice as resistant to infection than the thrice-vaccinated people in the same age group, the study said. The research compared data from about 400,000 people over 60 who received the second booster with 600,000 people in the same age group who were given a third shot four months earlier.

Israels rainy weather is expected to turn briefly into snow with the arrival of winter storm Elpis on Wednesday, which could bring several centimeters of powder to the Golan Heights, Safed and Jerusalem, the Israel Meteorological Service said on Sunday.

The group has released a list of names to be used for upcoming regional weather events based on the American method of naming hurricanes, the IMS explained in a recent Facebook post, noting that unlike in the United States, the list includes both male and female names.

The longtime Israeli diplomat, who was famously expelled from Turkey in 2018, some days cannot believe that he represents his country in an Arab kingdom that less than two years ago had no formal ties with Israel.
