Intense storms in Israel. Is this a supercell?

[David Brookshier]

Nice set of striations and rock hard updraft tower, it also looks like you can almost see a few inflow bands and one that almost looks like a beaver tail extending along the lower right side. Looks like a supercell to me at least from some of the visual clues but it's had to know for sure, by the way those are some great lightning shots, I didn't know Israel can get storms like this thanks for sharing these photos.

Excellent photos. The striations on the storm looks to have been caused by a strong, very moist mid level westerly flow being forced over the convection.
