A volcano, extinguished a long time ago, located on Zerka near the shore of the Dead Sea, 25 miles from Jerusalem, started to issue screens of smoke last night. From elevated places in Jerusalem the volcano smoke could easily be seen. A large number of inhabitants of the Holy City watched the volcano smoke all night.
