City covered in Virginia creepers (4)
I believe the answer is:
acre
'city' is the definition.
(city in Israel)
'covered in virginia creepers' is the wordplay.
'covered in' indicates a hidden word.
'ACRE' is hidden in the letters of 'virginia creepers'.
(Other definitions for acre that I've seen before include "Middle East port" , "Unit of area of 4,840 square yards" , "region of ground" , "Site of battle" , "Square measure of land" .)
