Train services in the Rishon LeZion area are gradually returning to normal, according to ynet, after an earlier disruption. No details on the cause were provided.
Train services in the Rishon LeZion area are gradually resuming by 13:38 Jerusalem, after Israel Railways suspended operations earlier Tuesday afternoon due to a fire near the tracks. The announcement was reported by ynet. The cause of the fire has not been disclosed.
At 12:42 Jerusalem, Israel Railways halted service between Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan and Ashdod Ad Halom, and closed Yavne West station, as firefighters responded to the blaze. No casualties were reported, according to Israeli media.
The disruption is the latest in a series of incidents affecting Israel Railways' central routes in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, similar fire-related halts and service interruptions have occurred in the Ra'anana, Lod, and Ganot areas, with services gradually restored each time.
The specific cause of the fire remains unclear, and Israel Railways has not provided a timeline for full service restoration. The company has stated that service is being restored step by step.
