Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan have all received several centimeters of snow.
Much of the Middle East has been covered by heavy snowfall this week. Parts of Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Jordan and Israel were hit by the winter storm.
AccuWeather showed areas in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan receiving snow on Wednesday evening local time.
The snow has reached up to 15 centimeters in height in Sweida in southern Syria and also hit the capital, Damascus. The weather rendered numerous roads impassable throughout the country, according to the state-run SANA news outlet.
Parts of Lebanon have also received several inches of snow, including Marjaayoun in the southeast and Keserwan in the central Mount Lebanon region. Rescue workers used plow trucks to clear roads in Keserwan, and the weather coincided with seven road accidents on Tuesday, the state-run National News Agency reported.
