Israel Railways halted service on the Lod–Rishon LeZion line Wednesday afternoon due to a fire near the tracks. Firefighting crews are at the scene; no injuries or damage to infrastructure have been reported yet.
A fire broke out near the railway tracks in central Israel's Lod–Rishon LeZion corridor on Wednesday afternoon, leading to a suspension of train services on the line, according to N12. Israel Railways halted all movement on the affected section while firefighting crews worked to contain the blaze. No casualties or damage to infrastructure have been reported so far. The cause of the fire was not immediately clear. While the incident is separate from two smaller brush fires reported earlier this week in other parts of the country, it adds to a pattern of fire-related disruptions as summer heat continues.
