Which radars cover Jerusalem?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 66 miles northeast. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Jerusalem	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	66 mi northeast	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRLX Charleston, WV	112 mi south-southwest	11,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCLE Cleveland, OH	115 mi north-northwest	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
