Severe flooding on Highway 90, also known as the Arava Road, has led to the closure of all routes to and from the southern city of Eilat. The Arava Junction, as well as the northern entrance and exit to Eilat, are blocked to traffic. Highway 12 has also been closed. Earlier in the morning, Highway 40 between the Ramon Junction and Ketura Junction, and Highway 13 between the Menuha Junction and Tzeh'or Junction, were shut down due to the adverse conditions. Currently, all roads connecting to Eilat are impassable in both directions. Despite the widespread road closures, an exception has been made to allow departures from Eilat solely for the purpose of reaching Ramon Airport. Authorities are urging drivers to avoid the affected roads, exercise patience, and follow police instructions on site.
