Same author's clip: Sobelman noted:
"Saturday’s initial fear of a sport accident that could end badly was not without precedent. In 2005, an Israeli paraglider was swept over the border and landed in Lebanon. He was extricated by the Israeli army amid a long gunfight with Hezbollah militants.

As a storm with forceful winds hit Israel on Sunday, weather memes also hit social media. “How stormy is it? You don’t need a paraglider to blow into Syria,” one quipped.
