Israel Railways confirmed Wednesday that the new eastern line — first reported by The Zioneer on June 21 — will open this Sunday, June 28. The route links Hadera and the Samaria region to Tel Aviv via three new stations: Hadera-Mizrach, Shomron-Tayibe, and Tira-Kokhav Ya'ir, terminating at Rosh HaAyin North.
In a separate but related operational update, weekend service hours on Friday afternoons and Saturday evenings will be extended for northern and southern residents, also beginning Sunday. The extensions aim to improve accessibility for communities farther from central Israel, though exact timetables have not yet been published by Israel Railways.
