Hinnom Valley landslide

The Hinnom Valley landslide refers to a significant geological event that occurred in the Hinnom Valley near Jerusalem, resulting in large sections of earth collapsing into the valley. This phenomenon can happen due to various factors, such as heavy rainfall, erosion, or unstable soil conditions, leading to the ground becoming too weak to support itself. Landslides can pose risks to nearby structures, infrastructure, and the environment. Understanding these events is essential for urban planning and disaster management, especially in areas with steep terrain or geological instability.
