Spectators scurry out of the path of the Negev’s Zin River as it roars to life (screen capture: YouTube) Dramatic footage shows Nahal Zin roaring back to life after rainfall in southern desert
The dramatic rebirth of a Negev river was captured on video and posted online this week, giving people across the world the chance to witness an Israeli desert natural wonder.
The sound of the wind whipping across the desert and kids shouting excitedly is soon drowned out by the rushing muddy water as it courses past the cameraman through the riverbed, dropping into a canyon.
Within seconds, the desert wadi transforms into a coursing river, narrowly missing a dog as spectators hurry out of the water’s path.
